Winemaking Notes

The 2016 vintage was warm and dry throughout the crucial lead-up to harvest enabling the fruit to attain flavour and tannin ripeness at maturity. A portion of the Cabernet was left for an extended period of maceration on skins. The wine was matured for approximately 14 months in 25% new French Oak barriques. Cellar potential of 8+ years.
