Description
Lot 80 Cabernet Sauvignon
\nThe fruit was hand picked and sorted, and then crushed into open vats for a cool, extended ferment, which lasted up to 3 weeks. During this period each parcel of fruit was pumped over and hand plunged to extract colour, fine tannin and varietal complexity. The wine was then matured for 14 months in a range of French oak barriques before blending by barrel selection.
\n \nTasting Notes - crimson in colour; this Lot 80 wine exhibits a strong mix of red currants, blackcurrant jubes, bay and light cedar. The palate is silky and velveteen. Forest fruits front a polished palate with hints of chocolate, spice and soft fine tannins.
\n \nFood Matching - this wine matches exceptionally to sumac crusted lamb shoulder but works with most meat dishes and firm ripe cheeses.
