Rags to Riches Cabernet Sauvignon 2024
COLOUR
Deep ruby red with violet hue
NOSE
Aromas of plum, blackcurrant, mint, and subtle anise.
PALATE
Forest fruit flavours and dark chocolate are balanced with soft acidity and lingering, savoury tannins.
FOOD PAIRING
Authentic Greek moussaka where the succulent layers of eggplant and rich tomato and lamb sauce, topped with nutmeg-scented bechamel pair perfectly with the varietal fruit characters of the wine.
WINEMAKING
The fruit was harvested in the cool hours of the early morning. Upon receival at the winery, it was delicately crushed into static fermenters and inoculated with a cultured yeast. Pump-overs were conducted twice daily for aeration and the extraction of colour, flavour and tannins. After fermentation, the wine was racked into French oak barriques and allowed to mature gracefully until September 2025. It was then blended into a tank and allowed to settle before filtration for bottling.
