Vinification Process
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vineyards that were selected had flavour and structure attributes that complemented each other and then monitored to select the fruit when the flavours and sugar ripeness were in balance. Fermented warmer temperatures of 24-26°C for 5-7 days to enrich the extraction of flavours and colour whilst retaining a soft tannin structure.
