Oldenburg Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (Case of 6)

The slopes of Rondekop provide the ideal terroir for our spectacular Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine has a deep ruby core and a depth of black fruits on the nose. Black cherries, black plums and blackcurrants are present, along with spicier notes of baking spice, cigar box and lavender. A beautifully defined palate with long-grained tannins and a mouth-watering acidity carries the fruit and the spices to an emphatic finish. An exceptional wine to be enjoyed now, or in the next 8 – 10 years.

Grapes were hand-picked in small lug boxes and stored in a cool room overnight. The following day the grapes were destemmed, crushed and meticulously sorted by hand on a sorting table. The grapes were allowed to cold soak for 5 days. For better extraction, 1-3 pump overs were done per day. The wine was racked twice during fermentation. Wines were matured for 18 months in 225L & 300L French oak barrels of which 27% were new.
