Product Description:
Vibrant aromas of fresh fennel, blackberries, black cherries, dried violets, graphite, and a hint of sweet tobacco. On the palate, it's energetic and edgy, with a core of iodine, overlaid by sprightly redcurrant, sour cherry, cranberry, and blackcurrant. The fresh fruit is complemented by vivid acidity and an inherent vitality. The tannic structure is pure, unburdened by wood, red-fleshed, and grippy, leading to a precise, dry finish.

Vinifikation Located on the cooler eastern slopes of Bottelary, this trellised vineyard was planted in 2004 with the CF1 clone of Cabernet Franc. On decomposed granite soils and at an altitude of 260 metres above sea level, this low-yielding vineyard produces smaller berries that offer incredible concentration, structure, and ripeness at lower sugar levels. The grapes were hand-harvested between 19 February and 5 March 2020 at a ripeness of 24.2 - 24.4° Brix. The destemmed grapes were directly filled into tanks where the whole berries were cold macerated for three days before primary fermentation began. To achieve optimal extraction, the grapes were pumped over up to three times a day, with fermentation temperatures peaking at 28 °C. Spontaneous malolactic conversion took place during the 11 months of maturation in 1000-litre oak barrels. The wine was racked only once, two weeks before bottling.
