in the vineyard : Cabernet vineyards are the most prolific on the farm and range in altitude. We have various sites and soil types on the farm and we are working on expressing the Hutton and Oakleaf soils in the wine.

about the harvest: Grapes from various blocks were hand-picked and sorted.

in the cellar : We used a combination of stainless steel and wooden fermentation vessels. Different yeasts were used to work on both aromatic profiles and structural components. Various pump-over techniques were applied, including both open and closed pump-overs at different intervals. The Cabernet spent 3 weeks on its skins, post-fermentation, after which it was taken to 225l and 300l barrels (first, second and third fill) for 12 months.
