2002 CLARE VALLEY WATERVALE CABERNET SAUVIGNON

STYLE—
A full bodied yet balanced wine of immense drinkability.

VITICULTURE —
The fruit for this wine is sourced off our own winery vineyard. Soil profile is brown to red loam over limestone. Yield is around 2-3 tonnes/acre.

VINIFICATION—
Mild weather and a long ripening period produced reds with enormous uplifted hues and flavours. Fermented in static red fermenters on skins through to dryness and basket pressed. Matured in a selection of aged American oak hogsheads. Alcohol 14.5%v/v

TASTING NOTES —
Made from 100% Watervale Cabernet Sauvignon. Spice, mulberry and herbaceous aromas are evident on the nose. Robust, sweet berry fruits intertwine with fine tannins and well integrated oak. This full bodied style is a result of basket pressing, producing a balanced wine with length and depth of flavour. Cellaring potential of 5 to 7 years.
