Stellenzicht Golden Triangle Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Name: Stellenzicht Golden Triangle Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
Brand: Stellenzicht Golden Triangle
SKU: 17426

Colour: Intense, dark ruby.
Bouquet: Very subtle oak nuances behind very ingtense (almost sweet) blackcurrant aromas make the nose on this wine incredibly enticing.
Taste: Dark berry flavours on the mouth confirm what the nose experienced, filling the palate with a supple intensity of fruit and oak seamlessly integrated. Tannins are firmly friendly.

This wine will accompany well most good red meat-dishes and will enjoy the added vibrance of peppered sauces especially.

Sourced from seven individual vineyards, the fruit used for this wine showed the diverse characters of each and were picked separately during the week of 7 to 14 April. The vineyards ranged in age between 12 and 16 years with the fruit being harvested at yields of around 5.2 Tonnes/ha. Soils for the different vineyards are mostly classified as Tukulu and Oakleaf with a small portion of Swartland. All the vineyards are trellised.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested by hand in mid-March.

in the cellar : The hand-picked grapes were crushed and destemmed before being fermented with yeast strains in closed stainless steel fermenters and left on their skins for 6 weeks. After draining off the juice from the skins, the wine was allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation in tank before being transferred to 300-litre oak barrels for a maturation period of 12 months. Barrels comprised around 70% French oak, 22% American oak and 8% Russian oak. Final bottling took place on 14 December 2004 with a total of 30,778 bottles being filled.
