Robert Parker

Cabernet Sauvignon

"Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvée is a deep garnet purple and a little shy at first, opening up to reveal fresh blackcurrants, crushed blackberries, and black raspberries with notes of menthol and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied to full-bodied with a large core of bright black fruit, it has a firm, fine texture and finishes with lovely freshness." (Wine Advocate - 2019)

Wine making

Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at around 25°C. The duration of maceration (15 to 25 days) will be determined based on the vintage and the potential of each plot. Tasting is the sole judge. Regular racking will provide the oxygen necessary to blend the tannins of the wood and the wine.
