Seaward Cabernet Sauvignon

It pairs beautifully with lamb loin, roasted root vegetables, or Beef Stroganoff​.

The grapes are grown in vineyards located 6-20 km from the ocean, benefiting from cooling breezes. The soils consist of decomposed granite and weathered shale, which provide good water retention and moderate fertility, contributing to the wine’s concentration and tannin structure​.

After hand-harvesting, the grapes were de-stemmed and underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was matured for 14 months in 80% French and 20% American oak barrels (mostly second fill), resulting in a well-rounded expression of the cool coastal terroir​.
