This historic farm was established in the nineteenth century and has quietly built a reputation for consistent vineyard quality and thoughtful winemaking. Today, viticultural focus is on dry-land-cultivated blocks and minimal intervention in the cellar. For the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, grapes are sourced from mature vineyards and given extended oak ageing - marrying varietal purity with textural complexity and structural finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1735\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1586\" data-end=\"1589\"\u003eA medium to deep ruby with youthful purple hues that promise both fruit intensity and developing complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1735\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1737\" data-end=\"2036\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1746\" data-end=\"1749\"\u003eDominant aromas of blackcurrant and dark plum give this Cabernet its classic backbone, while cedarwood and subtle tobacco leaf offer secondary notes of spice and savoury nuance.
