Wine Notes Concentrated cassis, black currant and cedar notes characterise the aroma of this classic cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon. A long, velvet palate of blackberry and black currants leads to a well-rounded finish of red fruits and chocolate notes, whilst ripe, silky tannins and toasty oak give balance and structure. Foodmatch This full flavoured red matches perfectly with barbecued red meats, beef dishes, casseroles and strong flavoured cheeses such as cheddar and parmesan. Viticulture Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were sourced from both the Gimblett Gravels and the Ngatarawa Triangle in Hawkes Bay. The gravelly soils are responsible for the tannin structure of this wine, whilst the silty soils provide for depth of character. Low yielding vines intensify flavour while a program of leaf removal and opening of the canopy ensures good fruit exposure and clean bunches. Cellaring Potential Some bottle aging will enhance the ripe fruit flavours and integrate the tannins. Best drinking from 2008-2013. Winemaking Cabernet grapes from the two vineyards were harvested on different dates and fermented separately. The total time on skins was approximately three weeks. The wine was racked to barrel for 12 months maturation. The Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with 5% Merlot, and a light fining and filtration was done prior to bottling in July 2007. |
