Malibu Vineyards Single Vineyard 2004 Syrah

Malibu Vineyards Single Vineyard 2004 Syrah was produced from eight-year-old vines planted in North-South rows using a vertical shoot position trellis system. The irrigation method practiced was regulated deficit irrigation that created a smaller fruit with intense flavors. Harvested on September 24, 2004, the fruit contained a 27.0 brix and 3.62 pH when it was transported to the Camarillo winery where it was de-stemmed and placed in a cooler at 45 degrees for five days of “cold soak” to concentrate the flavors before adding yeast to begin the whole berry fermentation process. The wine grapes remained on the skins for 12 days prior to pressing the wine into new Seguin Moreau French oak barrels for ten months before bottling. A total of 220 cases were produced.
