Description


Fruit is destemmed followed by light crushing. Individual vineyard batches were fermented on skins for up to 30 days. At the desired balance of fruit and tannin extraction, each batch was gently pressed. The individual parcels were racked to new and used French oak after pressing. Regular rankings over an 18-month period ensured the individual wines were at their best prior to blending.

Review
A lovely balance of varietal fruit, sweet herbs and spices with bottle age adding richness and complexity with powdery tannins in support.

Review
The trio of high-end cabernets are exceptional. This Reserve is an essay in texture and beautiful cabernet flavours. Cassis, warm earth, wood smoke, tar and baking spices. The medium-bodied palate is caressed by cocoa-powder-like tannins and terrific length. Lovely today but will reward more with cellaring.
