Every block is vinified separately in appointed cellars under the explicit direction of oenologist, Jaco Potgeiter. The grapes were fermented on skins for 7 days at 28°C until dry. After pressing, the young wine was put on French oak staves where malolactic fermentation was completed. Left on staves for a further 3 months. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. A little Cabernet stalkiness on the nose. Sweet, fruity New World Cab – blackcurrant and fire. Alc 14%, TA 5.43g/l, pH 3.57, RS 5.0g/l. Available from Wine Direct and 192 branches. 15/10/2008
