Information about "Eikendal Cabernet Sauvignon 2022"
Crafted with fervor and meticulous attention, the Eikendal Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 presents a captivating bouquet of ripe berries, dark chocolate, subtle spices, and a hint of pencil lead. This wine exhibits a refined structure with silky tannins and an impressive fullness that tantalizes the palate. Relishing a perfect harmony, this illustrious Stellenbosch classic culminates in a long, velvety finish, making it a masterful expression of its terroir.
The handpicked grapes were promptly chilled to 1°C upon arrival, meticulously sorted berry by berry. Following a 14-day cold soak, the spontaneous fermentation lasted 40 days. The malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in barrel, and the wine matured for 12 months in custom Burgundy barrels, followed by an additional six months of bottle aging.
