Tasting Notes
This Cabernet Sauvignon has deep purple colours on appearance and fresh fruity nose. It has powerful ripe fruit on the palate with notes of red cherry, blackberry, and ripe plum. The wine is made in steel tanks for full varietal expression with some cold maceration to extract ripe fruit flavour before warm fermentation resulting in an intense and plummy wine with well balanced tannin for a silky smooth finish.
