About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of CabernetsPairs well with LambOur maritime vineyard location produces elegant, fragrant, medium-bodied wines with taut, firm tannins and expressive acidity. A classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Vintage
2018 was a fine growing season, with warm days balanced by consistently cool nights. It was a relatively dry season with grapes ripening a touch earlier than usual. The first Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested in the middle of February and the last coming in the first week of March. Weather conditions prior to harvest were also mostly dry, ensuring perfectly healthy fruit.

Vinification
Harvested in the cool of the early morning to preserve fruit structure. Extended time on skins pre and post ferment to allow gentle extraction.
Cellaring
This 2018 Monterra Fleurieu Cabernet can be enjoyed now, or will benefit with short term cellaring of 3-5 years. If you can wait!
Taste Note
Classic blackberry cassis along with cigar box on the nose and palate, with a touch of mulberry and silky tannins. A medium-bodied wine with integrated complex flavours, smooth tannins and lingering pleasant finish.
