Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Name: Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Brand: Anthonij Rupert
SKU: 44983

A study in subtlety: gentle Christmas cake, typically Bordelaise tea leaf-, cassis-, violet- and spice aromatics. Velvety smooth entry – silky and delicious with more of those fruit cake flavours, with dark berry fruit, plum and spice notes. Lively and succulent while simultaneously structured due to its firm core of fruit and harmonious oak backing. Supple, soft, rounded but with a refined elegance and long aftertaste.

in the cellar : Grapes are picked by hand, placed into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. In the cellar, the whole berries are manually double-sorted and then gravity-fed into fermenters. Each batch is cold-soaked for a few days and then slowly brought up in temperature. Fermentation takes place naturally in the barrel. The wines were aged for 18-24 months in 90% new French oak, bottled unfiltered and bottle-aged for 24 months.
