Johan Joubert Wines Granite Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
This “two barrel selection” wine was crafted from two small portions of hard-rock granite soil from separate famous Cabernet Sauvignon blocks, on the foothills on the Stellenbosch and Helderberg Mountain ranges. The shoulders of the bunches were removed at 80% veraison. Picked at 25º balling with a natural acidity of 6.7 and a 3.47pH. Traditionally punched down, followed by an extended skin contact period of five weeks. The wine was matured for 27 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
