Tasting Notes
It has a deep ruby colour from core to rim. The aromas are dominated by blackcurrants and ripe raspberries with an echo of mint and cedar.
The palate offers the same notes, but adds the heady tones of plum jam and anise. This will keep well, but already has enough complexity for immediate enjoyment.
Vinification
The fruit was crushed into 8 tonne open fermenters and left on skins to cold macerate for three days prior to fermentation. The wine underwent its malolactic transformation in oak, was then racked and returned to French and American oak for a 12-month maturation. Blending was completed just prior to bottling.
Vintage
Steady winter rainfall and multiple flood events gave us a good storage of moisture and healthy vines leading into the growing season.
Summer temperatures have offered up robust fruit characters and bold structure that Cabernet Sauvignon loves to present.
