Clos Malverne Cabernet Sauv/Merlot 2022

VINIFICATION:

The grapes are hand- harvested at optimal ripeness. They are then destalked, crushed and fermented for 7 days on their skins in open fermenting tanks. The average fermentation temperature is 25-30° C. After fermentation, the skins are pressed in traditional basket presses. The free run and pressed juices are combined and Malolactic fermentation spontaneously takes place in the tank. The wine was racked and matured in new oak barrels for 12 months. After barrel maturation, the wine was blended (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot), fined and bottled.

TASTING NOTES:

The wine has a deep red colour. A smooth, easy drinking red wine to be enjoyed now.

A lighter style Cabernet blend. The herby, berry character of the Cabernet Sauvignon is apparent and complimented by the fruitiness of the merlot. To be enjoyed now but can be aged for another 2 – 3 years.
