TASTING NOTES
This vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon with a deep garnet center has
notes of bramble berry and blackcurrant on the nose. Velvet smooth
tannins and infused notes of violets and graphite coats the palate.
The distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics represents the beauty
of the region Stellenbosch. With refined tannins the wine is very
accessible now but will also benefit from maturation for 2 to 4
years.
WINEMAKING
Meticulous selection of Cabernet Sauvignon batches was done. The
result were two batches, each contributing to the aromatics and the
mouthfeel. The Helderberg parcel brings red fruit and refined
tannins, where the Devon Valley parcel brings black fruit and
sturdy tannins. Beautiful synergy between these two wards, does
Stellenbosch proud.
A combination of punch downs and automatic pump overs were
done to extract optimum colour, fruit and tannin. Maximum
fermentation temperature of 28°C. Malolactic fermentation in
barrel. 18 months in a combination of first and third fill barrels.
