Winemaker’s notes
The Grapes were harvested from a selection of vineyards in Robertson and Overberg. Grapes were hand picked at optimal phenological ripeness, gently destemmed, cold soaked for 6-10 days and fermented with natural yeast. Daily punch downs during fermentation and 10-14 days post fermentation maceration. Basket pressed and aged in barrel, natural malolactic fermentation. Each individual barrel was tasted to assemble blends, before bottling after 25 months.
Go Bold – a rich, full flavoured, classically styled Cabernet wine with unusual ageability. A big wine for a special occasion. Try with veal cutlet and pommery mustard sauce, or grilled sirloin on the bone with a bordelaise red wine reduction and classic roasted root veggies.
Cellar at a cool temperature for 10-15+ years.
