Intense ruby with vibrant purple hue. Lifted blueberry and blackcurrant aromas with hints of leaf and cedar. Medium weight with an abundance of varietal fruit flavours followed by length, plumpness and integrated fine tannin.
2011 was a cool growing season with timely rainfall. Some lovely, mild Autumn weather has produced a mature and expressive Cabernet at balanced alcohol and acidity levels. Fruit is sourced from our Dixons Creek Estate vineyard combined with complimentary parcels from select growers. Fruit is generally picked at around 13% potential alcohol, but the final decision is based on flavour, fruit sweetness and acidity. A combination of techniques are employed to produce a final blend that has complexity and balance. These include fermentation in 14T static fermenters as well as 30T rotary fermenters, long maceration times and warm fermentation. The components are pressed, racked to barrel and matured separately until the final blend.
