DESCRIPTION
VITICULTURE
The Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards were planted in 1998 on a north-west facing slope in lime rich red Karoo soil with a very high concentration of river stone.
WINEMAKING
The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness of between 24 and 25 °Balling (Brix) and allowed to ferment naturally (wild yeast). During fermentation, the temperature was regulated at 25 – 28 °Celsius and the cap soaked with pump-overs every two to three hours. When dry, the wine was left on the skins for another three days before racking and pressing. After malolactic fermentation started, the wine was transferred to second and third-fill 300-litre French oak barrels where it was left to mature for 12 months.
THE WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS
This is a full-bodied wine with a deep, almost black colour. Lots of red and black fruit flavours infused with cherry and cassis and hints of coffee on the nose. These flavours follow through on the palate together with black current and dark chocolate, ending with a noticeable toastiness, a touch of vanilla and soft juicy tannins.
FOOD PAIRING & SERVING SUGGESTION
Pair with rare roast beef, leg of lamb or any other red meats and pastas. Serve at room temperature (18ºC).
