WINEMAKING
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon was machine harvested then destemmed/crushedinto fermenters where it was cold soaked to extract and retain desirable varietalflavours and aromas. When actively fermenting post inoculation they werepumped over with aeration twice a day, temperature washeld around 25°C toprevent over extraction of tannins. The wine was then transferred in barrel formalolactic fermentation allowing a soft integration of the grape and Oak tannins.

VINTAGE NOTES
Vintage 2018 will be remembered as one of the best for Frankland River. Springprovided ideal weather patterns, allowing for the development of a healthy andabundant leaf canopy. Summer followed, and mother nature didn’t disappoint.The vineyard was leftto nurture the fruit with a mild, dry ripening season,ensuring perfect veraison across all varieties. The rain stayed away, ensuringthat all grapes came into the winery when they had exceptional flavour, acid andsugar balance.
