tasting notes
The 2010 vintage shows classic dark berry fruit with underlying grassiness on the nose. On the palate it is well balanced with soft tannins.
 
ageing potential

blend information
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
 
food suggestions
Ideally suited to rare duck with cranberry sauce, various steak and lamb dishes and hard cheeses such as Gruyere and mature cheddar.
 
about the harvest
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon was picked at optimum ripeness, with half of the fruit coming form Devon Valley and the balance from Villiera.
 
in the cellar
The wine was fully crushed and fermented in pumpover fermenters at ± 25?C. Full MLF occurred in tank before blending and racking to barrels. The wine was matured for just over a year in French oak barrels (including 25% new).
