ageing : It can be enjoyed now but will keep for up to 10 years in good storage conditions.

in the vineyard : An important part of the Villiera range - combines the natural elegance of Villiera soils with greater intensity from the soils of Devon Valley.

about the harvest: The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon was picked at optimum ripeness, with half of the fruit coming from Devon Valley and the balance from Villiera.

in the cellar : The grapes were fully crushed and fermented in pumpover fermenters at ± 25 ˚C. Full MLF occurred in tank before blending and racking to barrels. The wine was matured for a year in French oak barrels (including 25 % new) before final blending and bottling.
