Nose
Redcurrant, earth and cedar.
Palate
The palate is rich and powerful showing generous mulberry and dark
chocolate flavours.
A soft and supple backbone of tannin gives this Cabernet a long and precise evolution
through the palate.
Winemaking
Machine Harvested fruit is delivered to the winery where it is crushed and destemmed
to a fermenter. Selected yeast is added and a controlled fermentation is conducted over
a 14 day period.
During fermentation the wine is pumped over the skins twice a day to facilitate colour
and tannin extraction. A period of post fermentation maceration on-skins has been
employed for this batch to further ameliorate and soften the tannin profile of this wine.
Following fermentation and extended skin contact the wine is matured in a mix of oak
barrels and tank.
After maturation the wine is assembled before a light egg fining and filtration prior to
bottling.
Aging
5-7 years.
Appearance
Crimson/Red.
