Tasting Notes
The sweet fragrance of dark forest berries immediately floods the senses, offset by a diverse spice rack of secondary aromas. Clean bright fruit dominates the palate complimented by dusty tannins, with surprising depth and length of finish.
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.
