Alpha Crucis Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Fruit for this Cabernet was de-stemmed, cold soaked in an open fermenter and after a long skin contact was pressed into French oak where it underwent malo-lactic fermentation. It was matured for 20 months and received minimal intervention.
 
Aromas of rich black cherry and cassis compote with super ripe, porty fruit and cooking spice exude from this Cabernet made by Emmanuelle Bekkers. Its bright, juicy and ripe fruit core shows mouth-watering layers of plum and currants, which are underpinned by long and gentle tannins finishing with cedary oak support.
