WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Grant Burge Corryton Park Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 begins with harvesting fruit from the Corryton Park vineyard in small, separate batches to capture microclimate nuances. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel to maintain fruit integrity. Extended maceration is employed for some parcels to enhance flavor richness and tannin structure. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak hogsheads for at least 18 months, with a portion in new French oak, contributing to its complexity and texture.
