Vines are trained to a single cordon with a foliage wire controlling the canopy so light can penetrate to evenly ripen the fruit. Hand picked parcels of Terremoto vineyard Syrah are destemmed, leaving a high proportion of whole berries in the must, cold soaked for two days and inoculated with dried yeast culture. Batches are vinified in five tonnes open top fermenters for a week, pumped over twice daily, macerated on skins for a further ten days before pressing to a selection new and one year old oak French and American 300L oak hogsheads.

Mulberries and chocolate bouquet, spices and satsuma plum, vibrant rich dark fruit intertwined with French and American oak characters of chocolate and spice harmonise with fine subtle tannins.

Serafino Maglieri arrived in McLaren Vale 1968, partnered with his father who was working at Pirramimma and founded one of the McLaren Vale's leading wineries

From picking, pruning and cellar hand work to planting his own vineyards and building his first winery, Steve has enjoyed great success. In 1965, the father and son team bought 40 hectares of McLaren Vale scrub and set about the task of clearing it and planting vines. In 1972 Steve started his own winery Gully Wines, which he renamed Maglieri Wines in 1977. Steve wanted to create distinctive and characterful McLaren Vale wines and established his own style. The quality of wines improved steadily and by the early 1990s Maglieri was well positioned at the top of the McLaren Vale ladder.
