Neil Ellis Insignium 2012
Exquisite parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsaut noir were fermented separately in open top fermenters. A series of punch-downs and pump-overs were employed to manage extraction. Further maceration followed before racking to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wine spent 20 months in French oak barrels (300 litre and 500 litre). 75% first fill (Cabernet) and 25% older barrels (Cinsaut noir). Bottled in December 2013.
