Drinking this classical blend of five varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec, forming ‘Old Orchards’ Cabernets is a truly transcendent experience. The dark rolling fruit flavours of blackcurrants and berries are complimented perfectly with rich spiced oak and firm tannins.
Picked relatively early to maintain the balance of acid and sugar, the fruit was destemmed and lightly crushed, maintaining a large amount of whole berries for fermentation.
All five varieties are co-fermented on skins for 14 days. Once the primary fermentation is completed, the wine is gently pressed, settled then racked into French oak barrels (40% new) for 18 months to mature.
An intense bouquet of dark fruits and violets set the tone for the journey this wine will take you on. Dark fruits of blackberry and raspberry continue on the palate, lingering all the way to the back. The intense dark fruits are supported with silky yet firm tannin to give this wine all the structure required for it to last the test of time.
