Vinification
Fermented in open-top fermentors. Pumped over and the cap manually punched down five times per day. Primary fermentation took 7 days, followed by a 10 day maceration. Mololactic fermentation took place partly in steel tanks and partly in barrels. Following fermentation, the Cabernet Sauvignon (6 clones), Shiraz (6 clones), Merlot (2 clones) and Cabernet Franc clones are separately vinified. Left to mature in mostly new 300L French and American oak barrels for 15 months, the wine is then blended and bottled. Only after a further 18 months of bottle-maturation is the wine released.
Tasting Notes
Colour – Deep crimson Red.
Aroma –White pepper spice on the nose with hints of darker berries.
Palate – Hints of toffee & mulberry filter from the nose onto the palate. The wine shows great balance and is beautifully rounded off with the Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
