Wine Makers Notes
| Winemaker | Adam Mason |
|---|---|
| The Vintage | High humidity throughout the growing season posed a problem for many growers, but with careful canopy management and cover cropping we negated this risk. |
| The Winemaking | Careful vineyard selection followed by berry sorting in the cellar provided perfectly sound, ripe berries which were then fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and open top wooden fermentors. The wine spent a period of 22 months maturing in the barrel. |

| Tasting Notes | |
|---|---|
| Colour | Deep ruby |
| Bouquet | Distinctly Cabernet Sauvignon aromas with touches of sandalwood and menthol. |
| Palate | The ripe briary fruit profile is tempered by fine grained tannins and well integrated oak flavours. A dry, savoury character enhances the lengthy finish. |
