AWARDS & RATINGS
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 °B 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 light pressing. After malolactic fermentation started, a portion of the wine was transferred to older 300-litre French oak barrels where it was left to mature for 12 months. The other portion was tank matured with French oak staves.
THE WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS
Attractive berry fruit flavours with a hint of oak spice. The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with soft juicy tannins and a lingering aftertaste.
FOOD PAIRING AND SERVING SUGGESTION
Ideal match for red meats, pizza’s and pastas. Ideal for outdoor picnics and no need for a corkscrew, it’s screw-cap! Serve at room temperature (18°C) or slightly chilled.
