2007 Cabernet Sauvignon

VINTAGE
A warm dry ripening period resulted in excellent fruit flavour development, colour and acid balance in the grapes.

WINEMAKING
Harvested at optimum maturity and fermented on skins for 14 days then matured for 14 months in a combination of new and 1-2 year old French oak hogsheads.

COLOUR
Deep vibrant purple.

BOUQUET
Enticing blackberry and plum aromas with spicy vanilla and mocha oak.

PALATE
Elegant palate of vibrant berry fruit flavours with a complex and lingering cherry oak tannin finish.

SUGGESTED FOOD
Enjoy with a premium steak.

CELLARING
A very attractive wine now, the 2007 cabernet sauvignon has longevity and will reward careful cellaring up to 2017.
