Vintage Conditions: The growing season leading up to the 2017 vintage was challenging. A wet and cold Spring season impacted early shoot development, with mild summer conditions interrupted by rain events. A season of extreme, sometimes isolated, weather events resulted in some vineyards being hit by storm and hail. With a cool start to the season and with good soil moisture profiles, vintage commencement was late, running 3 to 4 weeks behind past seasons. The cooler weather and delayed ripeness favoured good varietal fruit flavour development in the whites and strong varietal fruit flavour and good colour, across the main stream red varieties. Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Maturation: Destemmed, crushed, yeast inoculated, fermented at 20-24 degrees on skins in static fermenters and pumped over daily with periodic aeration. Malolactic fermentation completed on French and American oak. Colour: Deep red colour with ruby hues Nose: Shows concentrated fruit cake and dark red berries Palate: The medium to full bodied palate exudes plum and berry flavours supported within a soft tannin structure
