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.
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.
FOOD PAIRING & 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.
