Nederburg The Manor House Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

COLOUR Dark ruby. BOUQUET Aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, dark chocolate and hints of tobacco leaves and oak spice. PALATE Ripe blackberry and currant, and a hint of oak spice with firm tannins that will soften with time. A well-structured wine that will benefit from further maturation.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from selected top-performing vineyards situated across the coastal region of the Western Cape. The viticulturist works hand-in-hand with the grape growers in managing each vineyard block to ensure the best quality fruit for this wine. The different microclimates and soil types associated with each vineyard add to the complexity of the wine. Each block was picked at optimum ripeness and vinified separately.

The grapes were harvested at 25º Balling. A variety of fermenters were used to create a spectrum of tannin and fruit profiles, contributing to the complexity of the wine. After fermentation, the wine was pressed and racked to barrel. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked off the malolactic lees and returned to barrel. The wine was matured in a combination of new, second- and third-fill French and American oak barrels for a period of 21 months prior to blending.
