Cabernet is King they say, and a cool climate wine region carries that crown with flair. Assertively Cabernet Sauvignon with that quintessential aroma of blackcurrant, dried herbs, fynbos, aniseed, and hints of leather. A seamless balance between fruit and acidity backed with polished tannins – ensuring you take notice of the finesse this Cab brings to the table.

Black Currant

Dried Herbs

Aniseed

Leather

Harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes were cooled overnight followed by both bunch and berry sorting the next morning. After three days of cold maceration, the juice was allowed to warm up to 16°C. To gently produce an elegant style with delicate fruit nuances, a combination of whole and crushed berry fermentation was performed. Alcoholic fermentation lasted eight days with gentle pump overs to encourage flavour and colour extraction. Pressed off the skins, after a 10-day extended post fermentation maceration, the wine was settled in the tank and transferred to the barrel for malolactic fermentation and maturation.
