Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.
A pretty, fragrant bouquet of violets, blackcurrants and black cherries heralds a palate at once fragrant and elegant, exactingly focused in its varietal precision and tight-grained and confident in its tannin profile. There are complex notes of sweet tobacco leaf, cedar and graphite.
Impeccably honed, this is a beautiful and enduring Xanadu, the essence of Margaret River cabernet sauvignon, with a magnificent life stretching long before it.
WINEMAKING NOTES
Fruit was crushed/destemmed before predominantly small batch fermentation in a combination of static and open fermenters. Fermentation takes 7-8 days at 24-26 degrees celsius, during which the cap is managed using a combination of aerative pumping over as well as regular plunging by hand.
After fermentation about a third of the components experienced a period of extended maceration, and were left on skins for 4 weeks before a very gentle pressing. MLF takes place in a combination of tank and barrel. The wine was matured for 14 months in French oak (40% new barriques) before the blend was assembled, and subsequently returned to older French barriques for a further 2 months maturation prior to bottling.
