The Grapes and Winemaking Berry-selection after harvest ensures that only the best fruit are used. Harvesting is done by hand from selected vineyard blocks in the early hours of the morning. Cabernet and Merlot clones are kept separate throughout vinification. This micro-vinification method results in a blended wine with a layered texture that is complex. Grapes spend 18 days or longer in open top fermentors for maceration. Primary fermentation took place in “Burgundy" (Mercury) barrels and was matured for 12 months before blending and bottling. The Blend is 65% Cabernet and 35% Merlot (Production – 3333 x 6) Not fined and unfiltered, this wine is made to mature and cellar well with 40% naturally fermented. The wines are structured, refined, elegant and ‘European’ in style, rather than ‘New World’. Analysis Alc: 14% Ph: 3.5 Acidity: 5.9 g/l Res. Sugar: 2.3 g/l Tasting Notes Earth, cedar, blackberries, current and cassis well centered, supporting a juicy middle palate. Infused with spice and vanilla, the tannins are soft with lingering fruit in a caressing finish. Superfine, well-structured. Release Date May 2004 with great potential to age for 8 years+.
