About This Wine

The fruit for this wine is handpicked from the Filsell Vineyard, where the vines here are almost 100 years old, and small portions of fruit are also selected from even older premium vines in the Barossa.

The age of these vines means Meshach is made from fruit with tremendous power and intensity, especially when allowed to ripen to the desired Baumé of 14°.

100% hand harvested. The wine was fermented in a combination of stainless steel and concrete open fermenters using heading boards, allowing optimal fruit extraction.
