Description

This wine was made with the idea of an early release without sacrificing complexity. Indulge in the rich flavours of this Cabernet Sauvignon blend, where dark cherry and chocolate notes take centre stage with layers of ripe fruit and a touch of spice. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled steak or rich pasta. To be enjoyed immediately and for several years, this wine will hold its own amongst older relatives.

Maturation

Fifty percent of the wines were fermented naturally which added to the complexity of the palate structure. All wines were aerated at the beginning of their ferments to ensure robust yeast populations before they went into their anaerobic stage. Once dry the wines were pressed off and racked in to barrel where they underwent natural malolactic fermentation in Spring. Just prior to the new harvest, the wines were blended and bottled. POST FERMENT: 1OO% oak maturation for 1O months; 3O% new oak
