“An excellent homage to Sydney Hamilton.” HUON HOOKE”
The key to this wine was the vineyard selection made at harvest. We were meticulous in choosing the most consistently ripe grapes from our 30 year old vineyard and fermenting in our favorite small fermenter.
During fermentation, air was used several times daily to gently extract the flavours from the skins. Pressing was performed before complete sugar dryness to allow the fermentation to finish in new Dargaud and Jaeglé French Oak hogsheads.
The wine was emptied from oak several times during its maturation and received a light fining before bottling.” PAUL GORDON, SENIOR WINEMAKER.
Fine medium to full bodied palate with silky tannins and great persistence of flavour, this wine has the elegance and structure expected of fine Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon.
