Tasting Notes:

59% Cabernet Sauvignon ,12% Petit Verdot ,11% Merlot,9% Malbec, 9% Cabernet Franc

Deep and intense in colour. Shy at first, the nose opens to classic notes of cassis, cedarwood and pencil shavings. Beautiful black fruit hovers expectantly in the background. Intense palate of bright red and black fruit, a touch of green olive herbaciousness, velvet gloved tannins and a defining acidity. A long and complex finish. Enjoy this wine now, or savour it for the next 10 years.

Suggested Food Pairing:

Serve at 19°C. Dry aged Prime rib and soy glazed root vegetables, braised Brisket and herb dumplings or Stilton and crackers.

Description

Winemaking Practice:

All five varieties were vinified separately after being harvested at optimal ripeness. The grapes underwent a cold soak of 48 hours and in that time regular pump overs ensured sufficient colour extraction. Natural fermentation started whereafter a cultured yeast was used to complete fermentation. Regular pump overs ensured good colour and tannin extraction. The skins were pressed after 20 days before being decanted into new 300L French Oak barrels to undergo Malolactic Fermentation. All five cultivars was vinified and matured separately. The wine spent another 36 months in barrels maturing prior to bottling.
