Tasting Note: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.5% Merlot, 6.5% Cabernet Franc. Apex Vineyard, Bridge Pa. Gravels Vineyard, Fernhill. Dense, rich & complex barrel aged Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, dark blackcurrants, cassis and savoury black olive notes. Elegant, plush entry with raspberry and floral notes unfolding into darker fruits, cedar and tar notes on the palate. Elegant, wine with real depth, length and layers of complexity, allow time to unfold.
Winemaking Notes: Hand picked and destemmed with 100% whole berries. Cold soaked for 4-5 days and fermented in small open top fermenters. 24 months in new (30%) and old French oak barrels. Unfined and unfiltered. 2021 was another classic warm Hawke’s Bay summer. Warm spring temperatures kick started the season early which continued into the summer resulting in a very early start to the harvest. Warm sunny settled weather with cool nights provided ideal ripening conditions for the Bordeaux Reds and no pressure to pick.
