Rainbows End
Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 - Single Vineyard
Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (French clones 23 and 169, German clone 163 and South African clones 37 and 46)
Tasting Notes: Intense, dark red colour. Earthy and nutty nose with heaps of ripe blackcurrant and cassis berries. Sweetness on entry with chocolate aftertone. Intense mulberries on palate with well integrated tannins.
Maturation: 12 Months in 58% new wood, 17% second fill and 25% third fill French barrels. Two rackings during wood maturation. Thereafter bottled without filtering or fining. Natural deposits may therefore be found in the bottle. Can be enjoyed now but is anticipated to reach its optimum in 2-5 years time.
