Methode Ancienne Cabernet Sauvignon

Established on a rock-infested outcrop, these Cabernet Sauvignon vines consistently produce fine wine. Bearing a mere 17-20 barrels of premium Cabernet a year, this wine is aged in their cellar for two years in new French barriques, and a further four years in the bottles prior to its release. In order to achieve a luscious, juicy wine, the winemaker tries to have as little intervention in the cellar as possible. Simply de-stemmed, the whole, uncrushed bunches are transported using only a gravity flow system. Whole berry maceration is followed by fermentation with natural yeasts, racking, and one year’s maturation in oak barrels. The result is a velvety wine with softer tannins and classical varietal characteristics. This traditional wine is unfiltered and unfined, which may deposit sediment and might require decanting. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
