Sorrenberg Cabernets 2019

'The 2019 blend consists of 30-40% Merlot and Cabernet Franc, a touch of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carménère, with the remaining Cabernet Sauvignon. A low crop level is important to ensure the fruit ripens and achieves maximum flavour. Half this of Cabernet Sauvignon was fermented for 2 weeks on skins with plunging of the cap 4 times a day. The remainder of this wine was fermented for 4 weeks on skins before pressing. Natural yeast is used throughout. The wine undergoes oak maturation for 24 months before final blending and bottling without filtration.

Although this wine is youthful, it is drinking well and will continue to integrate and benefit with age. This wine will cellar for 12 years plus. - Barry Morey.
