Org De Rac Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (Limited edition )

The exclusive organic reserve range is grown on the south-facing slopes of Piketberg Mountain where specially selected vines yield grapes of great distinction. Thanks to meticulous cellar practices every wine in the range is an aristocrat in its own right. The wine rewards with generous blackberry flavour harmoniously supported by undertones of vanilla and spice that linger on the palate.

in the vineyard : Organically produced on a 4-wire trellised system with drip irrigation. The soil is sustainably managed with a rotation of different cover crops, vetches and organic mulching to stimulate healthy soil microbial activity. Strict pruning, green leaf management and suckering are essential for pest and disease control and optimal shading of grapes during the ripening of the fruit.

about the harvest: Yield per HA - 8 ton/ha

in the cellar : Frequent pump-overs were done on the must during alcoholic fermentation to ensure good colour and tannin extraction. Extended maceration on the skins for up to 6 weeks after alcoholic fermentation further enhanced the mouthfeel and roundness of this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage was aged for 12 months in new and first fill 300-litre French oak barrels.
