Description
STYLE
A medium to full bodied wine of immense drinkability.
VITICULTURE
The fruit for this wine was sourced off our own winery vineyard. Soil profile is brown to red loam over limestone. Yield was 2.0 tonnes/acre.
VINIFICATION
Varying temperatures of mild to hot days accelerated the ripening period. However, the traditional Clare Valley cool nights helped retain good flavour profiles. The grapes were harvested in mid March and fermented on skins through to dryness in static stainless steel fermenters. Traditional time-honoured basket pressing has given the wine a good mid palate structure and length of flavour. 14.5% alc/vol
TASTING NOTES
This Watervale Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced off our own winery vineyard. Salient mulberry, herbaceous and cassis aromas. Juicy berry flavours give depth to the mid palate balanced with fine tannins and subtle oak. This round and voluptuous style is a result of time-honoured basket pressing, finishing with good length of flavour. Cellaring potential of 3-5 years.
