Jardim Do Bomfim Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Deep purple with red rim. This wine has a deep, complex, brooding nose with aromas of black cherries, blackberries and some regional prune. There are hints of dark cocoa, mace and a woody character that harmoniously works with the fruit. In the mouth the wine exhibits a typical plush velvety mouth feel and the tannins on the finish are subtle and long. It is a rich medium bodied wine with good persistence of flavours such as black fruits, rum, raisin and dark chocolate.

The grapes were sourced from the southern reaches of McLaren Vale from a small single vineyard with vines aged up to 37 years. The grapes were harvested in the cool of the evening then crushed into static fermenters and inoculated with a selected yeast strain. Open fermented on skins for 7 days with temperature control between 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. Once optimum colour and flavour was extracted the wine was drained and pressed. After malolactic fermentation was complete the wine was racked and filtered into seasoned oak for maturation.
