Wine of the Month

A classic Cabernet Sauvignon, with a beautiful brooding, purple-black appearance. The nose is filled with upfront aromas of stewed dark fruits, bouquet garni, cedar wood, graphite shavings and crushed tomato leaves. The palate is intense and powerful yet poised and finely balanced.

Grapes are hand picked during harvesting. Once the grapes are sorted, it is de-stemmed and crushed with mechanical presses which trod or stomp the grapes into ‘must’ (fresh grape juice). This process is followed by mash-cooling into fermenter with pumping over and takes approximately 10 days. After the fermentation process is draining and separation of free running wine and press wine, followed by malolactic fermentation (MLF) for approximately 2-4 weeks. After malolactic fermentation wine is racked with the addition of sulphur dioxide.
