Product Description:
A fragrant unfolding of red berries, just picked from a wintery bough, cool and glowing. The aromas deepen to the darker tones of cassis, bramble and black cherry. The vibrant fruit is overlaid by a balsamic note, framed by woody spices, fresh cinnamon, a hint of vanilla and classic cigar box. On the palate, the cassis line continues with ripe plums and juicy red cherries, the succulent fruit further enlivened by a refreshing natural acidity. Fine-grained, powdery tannins layer and resolve, carrying the full fruit into the appetizingly clean and dry finish.

Vinifikation The Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot vines grow on the warm north-facing slopes of the Helderberg region within the Stellenbosch appellation. The Hutton Clovelly soils have a high gravel content, which gives the wine a rich mid-palate and exceptional depth and fruit. With an altitude of approximately 250 meters above sea level and the cooling influence of the Atlantic Ocean, just 15 kilometers away, this extends the ripening period by up to 3 weeks, leading to beautiful phenolic ripeness. Various hand-picked grapes from the different Cabernet Sauvignon clones, as planted on the estate, arrive at the winery. Great care is taken to keep all clones from the different blocks separate. The grapes are sorted, destemmed, and the berries are selected again via optical sorting. The whole grapes are fermented in open tanks. Intermittent pump-overs and punch-downs ensure that the right aromas, scents, and tannins are extracted from the berries. All fermentations are meticulously monitored during fermentation to ensure that the correct balance between fruit and tannins is achieved. After primary fermentation, some tanks undergo extended maceration if necessary. Each clonal batch of Cabernet is aged separately in oak barrels (micro-vinified) before blending. All these different batches and the different characteristics of the Cabernet clones form the final Cabernet Sauvignon cuvée. The wine spent a total of 17 months in 20% new 300-liter French oak barrels.
