Tormentoso Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Inviting nose of sweet coconut, tobacco and classic Cabernet cassis. These flavours follow through on the palate, backed by vanilla oak flavours from the barrel maturation. The juicy red wine gum flavours on the palate provide a lingering, lengthy finish.

in the vineyard : Vineyards remained stress-free and healthy, ripening their crops easily. In general, the quality of the harvest for both red and white wines was very good.

about the harvest: 2009 was a relatively easy harvest, with near ideal weather conditions.

in the cellar : Grapes were given a one day cold maceration. Fermentation took place over 5 days in stainless steel tanks with regular pump overs. Just before dryness, the wine was pressed and put back into tank for malo-lactic fermentation. 100% of the wine was matured in 225L and 300L oak barrels (50% new) for 10 months. Fined and filtered before bottling with screw cap closures.

Total Production: 1226 x 6 x 750ml.
