The 38 hectare Medoc vineyard of Chateau Capbern is planted to 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot with the vines close to 30 years old.Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tank. The wine is aged for 18 months in close to 60% new, French oak barrels.

 
Chateau Capbern can be drunk early but for the maximum enjoyment drink it 10-17 years from vintage

The 2018 Capbern is composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot and comes in at 14.6% alcohol. It's anticipated to age for 16 months in barriques, 60% new. Deep purple-black in color, it leaps from the glass with vibrant scents of black raspberries, kirsch and fresh blackcurrants with nuances of cedar chest, pencil lead and forest floor plus a waft of lavender. Full-bodied, rich and packed with juicy fruit, it has a firm line of grainy tannins and loads of freshness, finishing with an herbal lift.
