Le Riche Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Hand selected grapes from older, lower yielding vines are used. Fermentation is done with a selected yeast strain under controlled temperatures. Manual plunging during this period ensures optimal colour extraction. After seven days the tanks are closed and allowed to macerate for a further period, normally 16-24 days. Pressing follows and the wine is transferred to barrel for natural secondary fermentation. 72% New French Oak is used and after a year in barrel, the individual batches are blended to form the final wine and returned to barrel for another year. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Matured in bottle for one year before release.
