Product information "Haskell Dombeya Fenix Cabernet Sauvignon 2014"
The Haskell Dombeya Fenix Cabernet Sauvignon presents itself in a glass of dense ruby red and ensnares the nose with a seductive bouquet of sweet red cherries, ripe blackberries and fine raspberry aromas. On the palate it is youthful and fresh with smooth tannin, complex nuances of ripe berry fruit and dark chocolate as well as a subtle pencil shavings note in the dry and well-balanced finish.

The grapes were hand-picked in the early hours of the morning and on arrival at the winery they were carefully sorted and selected for the further production process. It was then pumped through a mash cooler into stainless steel tanks where it fermented with the addition of selected yeasts. During the first half of the fermentation process, the cap was submerged four times a day; in the last half of the fermentation process, it was submerged only twice a day. Part of the wine completed the malolactic fermentation in French barriques, of which 40% were new wood and 60% were third barrels. Before bottling, the wine was slightly refined.
