Tasting note
Glorious California Cabernet Sauvignon, reminiscent of a red apple dipped in dark chocolate, with additional strawberry, blueberry and spice.
Viticulture
The 2016 vintage offered a well-balanced grape crop with smaller, looser clusters. Cold nights helped sugar accumulation, allowing fruit to hang longer for exceptional flavours. This vintage was delightfully easy to manage, showcasing natural balance and delicious flavours.
Vinification
The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, undergoing a cold soak for 3 days. Gentle pumping over occurs during fermentation in stainless steel followed by malolactic fermentation. 50% of the wine spends 9 months in French oak while the other 50% is aged in American oak for 11 months before blending and bottling.
Food Match
Superb with your favourite steak, red sauce pastas, or a juicy burger!
