Zema Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
A rich palate of mulberry and blackcurrant complimented by soft natural tannins and subtle French oak. Complex and well-balanced with a smooth, silky finish.
This wine was made from fruit which was harvested at its optimum maturity. The wine was fermented for 7 days under controlled temperatures in a combination of rotary and static fermenters.
Maturation for 15 months in small French oak barrels has assisted in the development of a wine that shows vibrancy and richness.
"Dark garnet with red hues. Strong cabernet leaf, then blackcurrant, cedar redcurrants and spice. medium-bodied and quite linear in shape with fine small tannins that are even from front to back, 20% new French oak soaked up by the fruit"
