Slaley Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot 2007

Tasting notes:
Showing ripe fruit and opulent dark berry aromas with soft spice notes. Integrated wood, mouth-puckering tannins means wine is still in its youth. Good ageing potential, age for 5 to 10 years depending on personal preference and dish.
Vinification:
Fermentation took place in open fermenters. The Cabernet fermented at moderate temperatures (25-28ºC) and spent 14 days on skins before pressing. The Merlot fermented at higher temperatures and spent 28 days on the skins. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrel. The blend was made up prior to bottling. Matured for 28 months in wood (50% New oak) 100% French oak. No fining.
