Clare's Secret Cabernet Sauvignon

This Single Vineyard Cabernet was destemmed into open top fermenters allowing for maximum control over the fermentation period. The fruit was then held at 10-15 degrees for 4 days before allowing to warm naturally and start fermentation. After 15 days on skins the wines were pressed to 20% new, 80% seasoned French oak Hogsheads where they matured for 18 months. No fining was used on this wine.
