Swartland Winemakers Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

A complex nose with aromas of eucalyptus, mulberries and blackcurrant, spice and earthy undertones. The nose follows through onto the palate with a powerful fruit expression. A well-balanced wine with soft tannins and subtle oak integration makes the wine perfect for enjoyment. A great companion to variety of red meat dishes such as beef, lamb and venison.

The grapes are hand-picked in the early hours of the morning, destalked and crushed. The juice and grapes are cooled and pumped into stainless steel tanks, inoculated with yeast and fermented at 24 - 26°C. Finally the grapes are pressed, the juice transferred back to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation that took place over 14 days. This wine is then further matured in tank for up to 12 months to soften and integrate the tannins before bottling.
