Rock Of Solitude Cabernet Malbec 2016

The fruit was machine harvested then destemmed and crushed into static fermenters. Once fermentation was established the tanks were pumped over with aeration twice a day. Temperature was held between 24-26°C for a slow extraction of tannins and increased development of fermentation complexity. The wine was then pressed and transferred to new and old French Oak barrels for fermentation allowing a soft integration of the grape and oak tannins. The wine was fined, filtered and bottled after 10 months of barrel.
