Wine Details
Price:
$29.00 per bottle
Description:
Fruit for our 2002 reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from two vineyards on the St. David’s Bench and a third site in Niagara-on-the-Lake, harvested in late October at 22.1ºBrix. Fruit lots were vinified separately in small 800-kg batches, utilizing the traditional method of punch-down of the cap. Four different yeast strains were used. After a short post-ferment maceration, wines were pressed off into a mixture of French and American oak barriques. Malolactic fermentation in barrel. Aged in oak for 23 months. Of the 12 barrels that are in the final cuveé, there were eight French and four American barriques; five of the barrels were new oak.
