TASTING NOTESAromatic cassis, blackberry and cherry jam follow through to an opulent bull- bodied palate with toasted Vanillan oak immersed in the layers of rich dark fruits and luscious tannins.This Wine is built to Cellar for the long term.WinemakingHandpicked Cabernet Sauvignonwas cold soaked for 10 days priorto micro-fermenting in 900L French rotating barriques by wild yeast. The Barriques were rotated 9 times per day and followed by a 10 day post-ferment maceration. The free run juice and pressings were barreled separately in new oak for 18 months. Only the finest Barriques were selectively blended.

The colour has a slight tinge of pink from the Pinot Noir portion of the blend. The palate is well structured and elegant, with crisp apple and citrus elements from the fresh acidity of the grapes. This freshness is complexed with the yeasty nuttiness that is derived from 24 months of aging on the yeast lees in the bottle. The dosage sweetness added on disgorging is minimal and balances the finish on the palate perfectly. Together these characteristics produce a wine of great complexity that fill the mouth over the length of the whole palate. The overall richness weight and structure of the wine will see it greatly improve with further careful cellaring over the next 10 years.
