About this product

Cabernet Sauvignon was picked at optimum ripeness, and, once in the winery, the DV10 yeast strain was specifically chosen during fermentation to naturally enhance the intensity of flavour. The resultant wine features appealing, dominant blueberry and blackberry characters. A portion was then stored in a variety of 1-3 year old French and American oak barrels prior to blending, bottling and release.

TASTING NOTES
Colour
Dark with a vibrant ruby red hue

Nose
Hints of black cherries and plum are layered by a dense earthiness and firm cedary oak overtones.

Palate
The palate is full bodied and plush, with rich notes of concentrated dark cherries and blackberry. Firm tannins form a savoury finish, showing just a touch of black pepper and tobacco.
