WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested from selected vineyards across the Limestone Coast. Upon arrival at the winery, they undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vessels to preserve the vibrant primary fruit characteristics. Following fermentation, a portion of the wine is aged using a combination of French and American oak profiles to integrate structural complexity, adding subtle sweet spice and chocolate notes before final blending and bottling under screw cap.
