Wine Description
Each parcel of fruit for this wine was harvested at optimum ripeness. Two strains of yeast were selected, the first to enhance the bright fruit character and structure of the Cabernet Sauvignon, and the second to intensify the darker fruit characters. Individual parcels spent 8 - 10 days on skins, with the Sangiovese batch kept in an open top fermenter with regular plunging to extract additional aroma and flavour from the cap.
This is the perfect blend - structured yet spirited. Bold dark fruits and solid tannins are fleshed out with a lively touch of savoury spice.
