The wine shows good varietal characteristics with upfront cherry fruit which is in perfect balance with okay vanilla flavours. Soft and ripe tannins linger on the senses. Finely imbedded tannins make this Cabernet a special enjoyment.
Grapes were harvested at an optimum ripeness of 24°B, inoculated with a pure yeast strain and fermented on the skins until dry. After alcoholic fermentation was completed, malolactic fermentation took place before the wine was matured in oak barrels.
Ideal with ostrich steak, grilled rosemary-flavoured lamb, oxtail, steak.
