Information about "De Trafford Cabernet Sauvignon 2022"
Poured from the bottle, the De Trafford Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 reveals a vibrant ruby hue, enticing the senses with a complex bouquet of ripe red berries, fragrant fynbos bushes, and hints of tomato leaf complemented by earthy spices. On the palate, this wine showcases a remarkable structure, delivering rich notes of fruitcake accompanied by luscious berries, enticing spices, and subtle nutty undertones. The finish is profoundly satisfying, echoing the wine's classic dry style and leaving a lasting impression. This luxurious offering encapsulates the concentration and complexity expected from the acclaimed Helderberg Mountains estate.
The grapes were hand-picked and destemmed manually, then crushed into open two-ton tanks. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation at 30°C with natural yeast cultures, involving two to three 'punchdowns' daily. Post fermentation, the wine was pressed directly into barrels, a third of which were new French oak. The wine matured for 22 months before being bottled by hand without filtration.
