Porcupine Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
EA
Description
The nose is dark and intense with ample black berry fruits, graphite and pencil lead aromas, whiffs of dustiness and an attractive bouquet garni of fresh oregano, tarragon, sage and bay leaf. Blueberries, blackberries and ripe plums dominate a fresh, chalky palate, with lithe, supple tannins and vibrant, refreshing acidity. The wine is juicy, textured, and balanced, with hints of rosemary and thyme lingering on a juicy, plush finish.

Vinification
Gentle winemaking practices with minimum intervention contribute to this approachable wine. Controlled fermentation in stainless steel. We specifically chose yeast strains to further enhance the red berry character of the wine and opted for gentle cap-management practices. We only use French oak and always choose to focus on fruit, rather than oak derived flavours. No acidification during any stage of vinification.
