2022 Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards (Gold)

Cabernet Sauvignon driven blend, ruby red in colour with cedar oak and pencil shavings on the nose. The palate is full of red berries, cherries and
Christmas cake spice.  A full-bodied wine with well polished tannins drinking beautifully now, or age for a further 8-10 years.

 

Winemaker Notes

The grapes of this blend were sourced from our vineyards on Hidden Valley and were picked at optimum ripeness, between 25 and 26°B.
Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks and the wine spent around 14 days total on the skins. After malolactic fermentation, the
individual components were racked to 225L French oak barrels and left to mature for 16-18 months. Only 25% new oak barrels were used. No
finings were necessary and only a light filtration was done at bottling.
