Tokara Tribute 2010
This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from the two consistently best performing vineyards on Tokara. The grapes were hand-picked at optimal ripeness. The grapes were placed in a cold store overnight and then de-stemmed and sent across a sorting table before being crushed directly into large wooden fermenters where natural fermentation occurred. The wine spent a total of twenty two months in 67% new French oak. Tasting Notes: This wine displays a deep, dark garnet colour. The aromas are that of dark cherry and black currant fruit with notes of cedar wood and fennel bulb. The palate is full and rich with intensely textured tannins which are tight and grainy. The finish is intensely long, displaying surprising freshness. 60 cases of this wine were sold on the 2012 Auction.
