2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Colour
Vibrant red with light purple hues
Bouquet
Chocolate, mint with a touch of earthiness.
Palate
A long complex palate features rich velvety tannins with plum, nutmeg and cherry with an earthy smooth finish.
Winemaking
The fruit was picked in the cool of the night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. The fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French Oak.
Cellaring
Drink now, but will mature and develop complexity over the medium term.
