Production Details The grapes for the Cabernet Sauvignon originate from the Oatlands vineyard. The grapes were picked at 25.0 °balling, after which they were de-stalked and crushed into stainless fermenters. During fermentation, aerated pump-overs were performed four times a day. The fermented wine was allowed three days of post-fermentation maceration prior to pressing. Malolactic fermentation was done in barrel. Total ageing in French oak lasted 18 months, with a single racking during maturation. 30% new oak was used.
