Description

In honour of generations past and present, this Cabernet Sauvignon is strong and structured like the pillars themselves, with an enticing bouquet of blackcurrant, wood shavings and lavender scents.

Vineyard

Mediterranean

A combination of newer and older hedged VSP vines, planted in rich Oak leaf and weathered granite soils.

Vinification

Cool-crushed and cold-soaked for a few days prior to fermentation. During fermentation, aerated pump-overs 4 times a day further help the gentle extraction of colour and tannins. Post fermentation skin contact and 18 months of oak aging produce a wine that has both bold structure and sufficient weight on the mid-palate.
