Product details
WINEMAKING
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vineyards were selected that the attributes of flavour and structure complemented each other and then monitored to select the fruit when the flavours and sugar ripeness were in balance. Fermentation at warmer temperatures of 24-26°C for five to seven days to optimise the extraction of desirable flavour and colour whilst retaining a soft tannin structure. A combination of American and French oak was used during fermentation and maturation.
