Cabernet Sauvignon
IGT Cabernet Sauvignon: perfect for meat dishes, but it is a wine that cries out for roast lamb, preferably with a few sprigs of thyme and rosemary to remind it of home.

Vinification
The grapes were handpicked before being crushed and destemmed. Throughout fermentation, temperature was kept at 24°C to preserve the primary fruit flavours. Pumpovers and maceration were conducted in such a manner as to optimize the extraction of soft full tannins with elegant concentration. The blend was aged for a further six months before being lightly filtered and bottled.
