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.
