2010 Cabernet Rose Wine

In 2010 we experienced a near perfect growing season with a cool, steady start with uninterrupted flowering and fruit set. A steady warn summer made for excellent ripening conditions without excessive heat.

Winemaking
Using the traditional saignee method to achieve a delicate colour, this select parcel of Cabernet was picked at 13 beaume, crushed into the press, where the juice spent 18 hours on skins and then the free run juice sent to stainless for ferment.

Tasting Notes
Bright red berries on the nose and a palate of strawberries and cream.

Food Matching
Great picnic or BBQ wine, matching well to grilled meats. Excellent also as an accompaniment to many desserts.
