This wine shows classic Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics on the nose with lead pencil shavings, tobacco leaf and blackcurrant. These notes follow through on the palate as well as ripe red berries with fine tannins and a long finish.
The handpicked grapes were fermented in upright fermenters with the aid of selected yeast strains. Temperature was maintained at 25-28°C. A combination of pump-overs and rack-and-returns were used during fermentation. The wine spent an average of 18 days on the skins. Matured for 14 months in 300L French oak barrels, of which 45% were new.
