Cabernets 2019
Much loved blend of cabernet sauvignon & ruby cabernet
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Deep red. Ripe blackcurrant and blackberry fruit on the nose with aged oak offering complexity.
Wine Making
Our separate blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon and Ruby Cabernet are fermented in stainless steel, spending up to two weeks on skins before pressing off for malolactic fermentation and barrel maturation and eventual blending to ensure the right balance.
Cellaring
Our 2019 Limited Release Cabernets is fresh and fruit driven but with enough weight and tannin to match with a hearty slow cooked lamb shank or a generous wedge of crumbly parmesan. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 10 years.

Palate:
This medium bodied wine shows plump blackberries at the forefront, a smooth and balanced mid palate gradually gives way to fine supple tannins coated with rich fruit for a long satisfying finish. An ageworthy wine that will reward careful cellaring.
