Family Selection Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Good winter rainfall meant near full soil moisture profiles at budburst. Moderate rain during early spring encouraged good shoot growth, with a quick and even flowering resulting in excellent fruit set. Mild & dry conditions, without any significant extremes continued throughout the growing season. Production levels were excellent, above long term averages and the mild & slow ripening conditions enabled strong varietal character to develop. Vintage was dry and the weather stable so fruit was harvested, at optimal flavour development and high natural acidity. A "goldilocks" vintage. The wine is aged in combination of new & seasoned French and American hogsheads for 24 months.

Cassis, black currant with notes of black olive and vanillin. Luscious notes of cassis and black currant, accented by hints of black olives, vanillin and cedar. Rich and velvety texture is supported by structured tannins.
