In 2015 we started our journey to make the best wines we could from our vineyard. The process started the previous year when we select two blocks for their soil profile and location, pruning differently to the other blocks, aiming for even higher quality and lower yields.
At harvest, we carefully select 10 rows from the Cabernet in Block 1 for their fruit flavours, which were then fermented in two open fermenters for 9 days and pressed into new and old French hogsheads. Monitored throughout the aging process, barrels were graded and then regraded as the wine matured. After about 30 months in oak, the final barrel tasting was done.
Our mission for the Block Reserve Series is to identify the best blends from our Block wines. Four barrels have been selected from our Block 1 Cabernet and blended to make this outstanding example of what our vineyard can produce.
Velvet.. Silk.. Lush.. Devine. Stewed blackberry, dark plum and smoked vanilla are zephyr like in the glass. Full bodied and intense flavour, this Cabernet delights with blackcurrant leaf, baked plum, black cherry and a delicate long cigar box finish.
