Alcira Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Vivino 3.8 ★★★★✰

This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the classic Coonawarra region of South Australia. Once harvested, the parcels were destemmed and chilled.

After a two day cold soak, the parcel was inoculated with a pure yeast culture. Fermentation was undertaken in Vinimatics and static fermenters with manual pump overs every 6 hours. Upon completion of alcoholic fermentation, the wine remained on skins for a further two days before being pressed into American and French hogsheads for 14 months maturation.

Winemakers Comments
Deep purple with vibrant hues. Enticing aromas of blackcurrant and mulberry melded with hints of mint, leather, cedar earth and all spice. The palate displays intense flavours of dark berries, vibrant cassis fruit, followed by velvety tannins and subtle oak accompaniment.

Wine & Food Match
Warm lamb fillet salad or glazed veal medallions.
