PALATE
An elegant and varietal wine full of savoury red and black fruits and vanilla - pod oak. Fine French oak and silky tannins frame this uncomplicated, elegant, and subtle cabernet which also has a soft lingering finish

WINEMAKING
The fruit was selectively harvested in the cool, early hours of the morning, then destemmed & crushed into a combination of open and static fermenters where it was inoculated with yeast selected for varietal expression. Once fermentation was established the tanks were pumped over with aeration twice a day. Temperature was held between 24-26°C for a slow extraction of tannins and increased development of fermentation complexity. Towards the end of fermentation some wine was drained to barrel to complete fermentation in the new oak barrels, the remaining wine was then pressed and transferred to barrel for Malo-lactic fermentation allowing a soft integration of the grape and oak tannins. The wine was blended then bottled after 18 months of barrel maturation.
