Nose

Cassis, black fruits with coffee/dark chocolate oak.

Palate

Ripe berry flavours, soft, velvety tannins and a good acid balance with a clean, lingering finish.

Growing Conditions

The 2012 growing season was mild and dry, allowing for an evening ripening period. Red fruit developed well with good concentration of colour and tannin at a lower level of sugar ripeness. As a result, Cabernet based wines are elegant and well structured with great colour and varietal characters.

Winemaking

Produced in traditional open pot fermenters and matured in French oak barriques for 20 months – an elegantly structured wine with medium to long term cellaring potential.

Appearance

Medium red hues.
