WINEMAKING NOTES:
All three blocks of our estate Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested on the same day. The two old and established blocks delivered grapes with a high level of sugars and phenolic ripeness. The younger vines added a strong but gentle acidity. All the building blocks for a bold and luscious wine came together after careful sorting and destemming in the fermentation tanks. With pump overs performed twice daily, warm fermentation temperatures locked in the fruit and berry driven flavours while keeping tannins soft and velvety. Carefully pressed after fermentation, this wine was transferred to a combination of American and French oak barrels to further broaden the profile of this wine over the next 20 months.

TASTING NOTES:
This intense and full-bodied wine leaps out of the glass with a multitude of juicy and jammy aromas imparting red plums, black currants, dark raspberries. Moroccan spice and hints of toast. A complex palate delivers more concentrated fruit, molasses and coffee, supported by rich and round tannins that linger for a long finish. A wonderful expression of an outstanding vintage! This bold and rich Cabernets Sauvignon will be a great companion to grilled red meat, beef wellingtons, pork back ribs, steak fajitas or hearty vegetarian dishes.
