Winemaking Notes
Two years (2013 & 2014) of harsh winters resulted in a slightly reduced harvest for the 2015 vintage. The grapes were smaller in size giving a higher skin to juice ratio. This produced a wine with deep colour and complex flavours. This wine is a blend of our appassimento Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot grapes and Petit Verdot. The grapes were harvested throughout October then dried naturally for 60 days. This wine fermented on the skins, was pressed, and then aged for in select French and American oak barrels for 18 months. Enjoy now after a lengthy decant, or continue to cellar through to the year 2030.
