Barton Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The wine opens with bright, lifted aromas in the red fruit spectrum, showing raspberry and a hint of cherry sherbet that adds a playful vibrancy to the nose. On the palate, the entry is smooth and subtle, unfolding with gentle grace rather than force. At the core lies a concentration of primary blackberry fruit, offering depth and clarity without overt oak influence. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, supporting the fruit through to a clean, composed finish. A youthful and elegantly-fruited Cabernet, showcasing purity and balance.

in the vineyard : Barton’s vineyards (latitude 34 degrees south) lie in the Botriver Valley on the cooler south slopes of the Kogelberg, some 180 metres above sea level, absorbing the cooling Atlantic breezes from Walker Bay eleven miles distant. The cool sea breeze lowers disease incidence and aids in good colour formation. The frost free moderate cool climate and southerly aspect gives a slow and extended grape ripening period preserving the flavours and aiding phenolic ripeness of the grape. Temperatures in the growing season average between 19 and 22 degrees centigrade. The dominant soil formation is gravely coarse sand with ferruginised quartzite gravel overlying soft weathered Table Mountain sandstone with clay patches. Average annual rainfall is 550 mm.
