2018 Point Ormond Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River

Winemaker Notes: This delicious Cabernet has aromas of raspberries and dark cherries with flavors of cedar, tobacco and dried herbs on the palate.

Margaret River is Australia’s most well known region for the noble Cabernet Sauvignon varietal. Fruit for this wine was crushed and de-stemmed then fermented for 5 – 7 days. Approximately 20% of the components experienced a pre-fermentation cold soak, with another 30% being left for a period of extended maceration on skins for 28 days. The various batches underwent malolactic fermentation in tank and barrel before 14 months maturation in a selection French oak barriques (20% new oak).
