Langmeil

Kernel Cabernet Sauvignon

2019 was the smallest vintage in twenty years due to a drier than average growing season with spring frosts. What little fruit there was ripened quickly in the hot, dry conditions of January and February, with a mad rush to pick before sugar levels became excessive. On the plus side, the lack of rainfall meant there was no disease pressure this season. The reds will be bold, dark, rich and long-lived. Sadly, they will be in very short supply.

Medium to deep crimson with purple hues.A bright and lifted aroma of blackcurrant, violets and liquorice mingle with black olive, chocolate and savoury notes.Juicy blue fruits coat the palate balanced with soft, velvety tannins. A complex, medium to full-bodied wine showing hints of brambly spice and vanilla which flow through to the lengthy, fruit, peppery and spicy finish.
