With a dark black centre that has purple flashes, this has a typical Cabernet Sauvignon nose of blackberry and plum complemented by mint, spice and a touch of oak. The palate has a delicious, fruity style that is true to its variety with plum, blackberry and blueberry undertones. There is added complexity from mint and spice with cedary oak.
The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft, fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French oak.

"Big super-ripe fruit aromas. Elegant palate showing good length and good balance of oak flavours."
