Tokara Tribute 2011
This wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the two consistently best performing vineyards on Tokara Stellenbosch. The grapes were hand-picked and placed in a cold store overnight. The following day they were crushed directly into large wooden fermenters. Fermentation began spontaneously resulting in a long cold soak. Total maceration on the skins was for a period of around 4 weeks after which the wine was drained off and skins pressed in our basket press. The wines spent a total of twenty-two months in 60% new French oak and the rest being older French oak barriques. The wine was bottled unfiltered in February 2013.
