Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec & Merlot coming from the Ribbon Vale vineyard in Wilyabrup, Margaret River, Western Australia
Taste Profile: Displaying classic Houghton clone aromas of blueberries and violets and these combine with blackberry, raspberry and a bit of plum, courtesy of the Malbec. Sitting beneath the floral array are Cabernet’s usual complex notes cedar, tobacco and tar and some light, toasty oak. The acidity is still fresh and the tannins firm but the balance is excellent. The wine finishes with some soft oak notes.
Winemaking Process: All the fruit was hand-picked and delivered to the winery, where it was sorted and destemmed. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec were all transferred to small, open tanks, where they were seeded with multiple yeast strains for primary fermentation. Each batch was hand-plunged 3 times per day and temperatures were controlled to 30°C. Time on skins varied slightly but was typically 14 days, after which each batch was pressed and racked to stainless steel tanks.
The Merlot technique was slightly different. After destemming, the fruit was placed in closed, stainless steel tanks and then chilled to 8°C and allowed to soak for 48 hours. This enhances the colour depth. After this, it’s allowed to warm and seeded for primary fermentation with multiple yeast strains. Extraction was by pump overs, 3 times per day and after 14 days on skins the wine was pressed and racked to stainless steel.
All batches underwent malolactic fermentation and once completed, each was racked to wood. All barrels were 228 litre French oak. For the Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% were new and in the Merlot, 30% were new. After one year in oak, the individual batches were racked and blended in stainless steel, then returned to barrel. The Cabernet Sauvignon is made up of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot and 2% Malbec. After just over 2 years in oak, both wines were racked and blended in stainless steel for the final time.
