Tokara Tribute Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
The grapes were hand-picked and placed in a cold store overnight. The grapes were destemmed, hand sorted and crushed directly into wooden fermenters. Fermentation began spontaneously resulting in a long cold soak. Total maceration on the skins was for a period of around four weeks after which the wine was drained off and taken to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The wines spent 22 months in 60% new French oak and the rest being older French barriques. The wine was bottled unfiltered and unfined.
