Rose & Thorns Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

COLOUR Dark red with a crimson hue NOSE Aromas of dark red with a crimson hue PALATE An elegant palate, flavours of plum, forest fruits and mocha, with some underlying savoury notes such as dry herb. Integrated oak characters compliment the fruit, the tannins are fine with good persistence WINEMAKING The fruit was machine harvested and transported to the winery where it was destemmed and crushed into fermenters. Once inoculated, the ferments were pumped over twice a day at temperatures between 22 -26°C to prevent over extraction of tannins locked in the skins. The wine was then transferred to oak for malolactic fermentation allowing a soft integration of the grape and oak tannins. After the correct amount of maturation, the wine was blended, fined then bottled. FOOD PAIRING Beef Carpaccio, Lamb Shanks and Aged Cheddar
