Winemaking: Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs occurring to extract colour and flavour. After fermenting dry, a portion of the wine was left on the skins for 2-3 weeks before being drained off and the skins pressed. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in a selection of new, 2nd fill and 3rd fill French oak barrels for approximately 18 months.
Pairing Suggestions: This beautiful full-bodied wine will be the perfect companion to filet mignon with a rich balsamic glaze, roasted duck breast with pecan purée as well as beef
tagliatelle with fresh rocket and parmesan.
Tasting Note: This classic Cabernet shows inviting flavours of blackberry and youngberry with hints of cocoa, almond and cedar. A full-bodied wine with excellent balance on the palate and a smooth lingering aftertaste. The wine can be enjoyed now, but will benefit with a further 5-8 years of maturation.
