Production Details The grapes were hand-picked into small lug boxes in the cool early mornings of March 2018. The grapes were then destemmed, crushed and chilled as quickly as possible. After two days of cold maceration the must was inoculated with specially selected commercial yeast. Fermentation was controlled at 25°C and was completed within 2 weeks. After malolactic fermentation in tank, the wine was matured for 13 months in a combination of 225L and 300L French oak barrels with a small percentage (5%) being new. This well-crafted Cabernet will mature gracefully over the next 10 to 15 years.
