Description

Mitre's Edge Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Simonsberg, Paarl, South Africa. The fruit is of 20 year old vines, grown on sandly loam soils & clay

Taste Profile: Deep rich garnet colour, with punchy eucalyptus and cassis notes on the nose, leading into hints of tobacco and cigar box. This Cabernet Sauvignon is well balanced with a big mouth feel but, yet soft and accessible tannins. Pairs well with red meat dishes, especially grilled steaks and roast lamb

WInemaking Process: Open vat fermentation followed by a stainless steel basket press. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tank, followed by barrel maturation for 12-14 months.

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus

Malolactic Fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
