Cabernet Sauvignon

Best with nearly all red meat, including prime rib, New York strip and filet mignon.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon was picked at optimum ripeness, with half of the fruit coming from Devon Valley and the balance from Villiera.

The wine was matured for a year in French oak barrels (including 25 % new) before final blending and bottling.

The grapes were fully crushed and fermented in pumpover fermenters at ± 25 ̊C. Full MLF occurred in tank before blending and racking to barrels.
