Tristone refers to the three types of sandstone soils that our Cabernet Sauvignon vines are grown in. Each soil type brings a unique element to the wine. This wine showcases the terroir of these soils through its elegant balance between fruit, structure and lingering tannins.

about the harvest: The grapes are hand harvested in the morning.

in the cellar : The whole berries are fermented for 7-10 days with three pump overs a day. After fermentation, a couple weeks of skin contact is given, the wine is then drain, pressed and racked to barrel. The wine is matured for up to 16 months in French oak barrels with 30% new oak, before it’s blended and bottled.
