Browse by Grape - Cabernet Sauvignon
Arguably the greatest red grape of France, producing the most majestic age-worthy wines, but also capable of thin and dilute or tough and tannic wine. With its green pepper and blackcurrant character this grape is the master of complexity and forms the backbone of Bordeaux's five First Growths, as well as comprising the majority of most classified 'right bank' wines. Italy's 'Super Tuscan' wines are largely Cabernet based. It is now also producing some of Australia and California's top bottlings, and is proving to be a star another quality producing countries such as South Africa and Chile.

Dense, inky red colour with a purple rim. The nose is layered, complex and seductive with great intensity and balance between ripe red to dark fruit and spicy undertones. The wine is upfront in its every aspect but elegantly put together so that the palate remains fresh and incredibly drinkable. The tannins are persistent
and savoury, the finish long and rounded.

Grapes were destemmed, sorted and crushed into small batches for ferment. Wines were fermented with wild yeast, gaining layered complexity. Extended time on skins post fermentation gave the wine greater depth and savoury characteristics. The wine was pressed, and racked to oak for maturation. It was then left to evolve in oak for 16 months before blending for bottling.
