WINE OF ORIGIN: WALKER BAY
Winemaker’s Notes:
Capitalising on the natural water masses that surround the estate, ensuring a temperate cool climate, Cabernet sauvignon is due to shine on our Walker Bay Estate. The vineyards are situated on the shores of the lagoon which runs down towards the cold Atlantic Ocean. Meticulous care was given to the canopy management, allowing bunches to soak up the cool afternoon sun.
Harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes were cooled overnight followed by both bunch and berry sorting the next morning. After three days of cold maceration, the juice was allowed to warm up to I 6′ C. To gently produce an elegant style with delicate fruit nuances, a combination of whole and crushed berry fermentation was performed. Alcoholic fermentation lasted eight days with gentle pump overs to encourage flavour and colour extraction. Maturation: 20 months. Oak: 300L French oak, 40% new
