Viticulture and Winemaking

Greg Norman’s top priority when it comes to sourcing fruit from some of the world’s finest wine regions is to work with growers who are good land stewards. The better the work done in the vineyard, the more the Greg Norman Estates’ wines will stand out as the best regional expressions of the respective grape varieties, from Sonoma’s Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to Australia’s Limestone Coast Shiraz. Fruit is sourced from premium vineyards that have distinctive slower ripening periods as well as favorable elevations, aspects and soil profiles – loam over limestone tends to be a favorite. In the winery, all lots are fermented and aged separately before final blending just prior to bottling. Only a soft winemaking touch is needed whether it’s managing the ferments, oak, or fining and filtering to achieve well-balanced, fruit forward wines with impressive structure, weight and length.
