about the harvest: Like the Merlot, our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are picked late in the harvest to achieve optimum ripeness

Yield 10 - 12 tonnes /ha

in the cellar : The grapes are gently pressed and only the free run juice is used and the free run juice only spend a short amount of time with the skins to ensure soft tannins in the wine. Using selected yeasts, fermentation takes place at between 18° - 22° C for 10 days. After racking, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures on French and American oak staves for 3 months to add complexity.
