Tasting Notes

Everything a good Cabernet Sauvignon should be Blackcurrant and mulberry cassis with a hint of tobacco complemented by warm spice on the nose. The palate is similar with black fruit and well integrated spicy oak.

About The Harvest

All grapes were hand picked.

In The Cellar

All grapes were hand picked and sorted before a pure yeast culture was inoculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained of the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine to a combination of 225 litre barrels of French oak types. The wine spent between 12- 14 months in barrels before bottling and labeling.
