Cabernets 2017
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Dense red. Ripe blackcurrant and blackberry fruit on the nose with aged oak offering complexity.
Cabernets 2017 Tasting NoteWine Making
Our separate blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon and Ruby Cabernet are fermented in stainless steel, spending up to two weeks on skins before pressing off for malolactic fermentation and barrel maturation and eventual blending to ensure the right balance.
Cellaring
Our 2017 Limited Release Cabernets is fresh and fruit driven but with enough weight and tannin to match with a hearty slow cooked lamb shank and winter vegetables or a generous wedge of aged crumbly cheddar. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 3 years.

offering complexity.
Palate:
This medium bodied wine shows plump brambleberries at the forefront, a smooth and balanced mid palate gradually gives way to fine supple tannins coated with rich fruit for a long satisfying finish. An age worthy wine that will reward careful cellaring. Cabernets 2017 Tasting Note
