Winemakers Notes
TASTING NOTE
The deep purple colour is accentuated by vibrant red hues. This Cabernet Sauvignon is complex, with vibrant flavours of forest berries & plums with underlying savoury notes of spice French oak. The ripe berry characters flow smoothly onto the palate, combining with spices and vanilla oak and soft chewy tannins.
SUGGESTED CUISINE
Roast lamb with fresh thyme, rosemary and sage, vintage cheddar cheeses.
WINEMAKING
Fermented in open top concrete fermenters, thoroughly plunged twice each day throughout a slow fermentation lasting 7 – 8 days. Pressed to stainless storage, where the wine completes primary and malo-lactic fermentation. Racked and transferred to 100% French oak Hogsheads, to mature for 10 months.
