Tasting Notes

Technical Details: The grapes were hand picked and destemmed. Fermentation was with wild yeast from the vineyard. The wine spent time macerating on its skins to achieve balance and then was pressed using a traditional basket press. During the winter and spring the wine developed in oak barrels before being blended and then returned to oak barrels to mature. The wine was lightly fined using egg whites prior to filtering and bottling.

Blend: 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc

Alcohol 12%

Fined with egg whites, contains sulphites.
