- A refined and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon of great class, with ripe tannins and characteristic aromas of cassis, mulberry and blue fruits entwined with hints of mocha. A great summer led up to the vintage. However, a rain event about a week before the start of harvest resulted in unusually humid conditions which required careful fruit selection in some vineyards. 2021 ended up being a more challenging season than usual. However, the extra work in the vineyard ultimately paid dividends, with some wonderfully elegant wines being produced.

The grapes were crushed and destemmed before mostly small-batch fermentation, which took place at 24 to 26 °C in static and open fermenters and lasted seven to eight days. The cap was submerged using pumping over and regular hand plunging. Post-fermentation, 20% underwent extended skin maceration, imparting colour, structure, and flavour, before being gently pressed. The malolactic conversion took place in a combination of tank and barrel. The wine was matured for 14 months in French oak (40% new).

| Winery | The estate grapes come from the subregions of Wilyabrup and Wallcliffe from the renowned Houghton clone of Cabernet Sauvignon, which provides a balance of fruit-driven flavours, impeccable structure and fine tannins. The ancient granite soils have an abundance of ironstone gravel. These free-draining soils have low water and nutrient holding capacities, providing the optimum growing conditions to balance foliage and fruit and deliver superb aroma and flavour intensity. The Indian and Southern Oceans meet here, engulfing the vineyards with fresh sea breezes, promoting natural balance. The vineyard is managed sustainably with cover crops, biodiversity promotion and weed management from sheep grazing. |
