Edgebaston Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2016

A selection of the grapes from vines on the clay-rich section of our GS vineyard that yields far less than the surrounding vines. Small egg tank fermentation with three punch-downs a day was followed by a soft press and 18 months in new French oak before an egg whitening, light filtration and bottling.

Tasting Notes: Dense and dark with a cedar spice and ripe, cassis nose. This wine shows the typical iron-fisted structure of great Simonsberg Cabernet Sauvignon. Terrific linear acidity, bright fruit and wood tannin.

Winemaker: David Finlayson
