Waterford Estate 2009 Auction Reserve BB

Cabernet Sauvignon 75%, Merlot 25% Separate lot fermentations with blending taking place post malolactic fermentation. The blend was aged in tight grained French 225 litre barrels for 26 months, 40% first fill. A single egg white fining took place prior to bottling. Tasting note: The very distinctive Helderberg Cabernet Sauvignon character is enhanced by the purity of the fruit from this exceptional vintage. The mouth-feel and texture are indicative of a full, rich vintage that has a classically dry finish. Drink 2018 – 2025.
