WINE MAKING:
After two days of cold maceration, which enhances colour and fruit flavours, the juice was inoculated with a combination of specially selected yeast strains. Alcoholic fermentation lasted approximately seven days. During this time, each tank was subjected to a meticulous pump-over schedule. Only after numerous tastings by the winemaking team to ensure the achievement of perfect balance and structure, was the wine pressed o the skins. The wine was racked to barrel where it underwent malolactic fermentation. It was then racked from the lees and returned to barrel for further maturation. After maturation, only the best barrels were selected to go into this vintage of Cathedral Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon.

MATURATION:
The wine spent 18 months in barrel. A 35% portion of the blend was aged in new barrels and the remainder in second and third- ll barrels. The wood utilised in the making of the wine comprised 100% French oak.

SERVING SUGGESTION:
This wine can be enjoyed on its own or paired with flavourful dishes such stews, braised ribs, grilled beef or ostrich steak. It will also pair well with mild, flavoured cheese.

CELLARING POTENTIAL:
