Klein Constantia Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Case of 6

Description : 

CABERNET SAUVIGNON Current Vintage 2007 General A relatively cool vintage punctuated by rains in early March which necessitated an additional week of ripening for our red vineyards. The resultant wine is structured and full bodied. Description Clear-cut Cabernet Sauvignon aromas with a hint of menthol. The ripe fruit profile is offset by fine grained tannins and well integrated oak flavours. A dry, savoury character enhances the lengthy finish. Grape Variety Cabernet Sauvignon (100%) Wine Record Grapes were harvested in March of this warm and relatively dry growing season. The must was fermented in rototanks at 26-30, with 6 hourly rotation ensuring optimum extraction of colour and tannins. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured in new French oak barrels for 24 months. Alcohol 15.9% Residual Sugar 2.2g/l pH 3.74 Total Acid 5.2 g/l Maturation Approachable now, but will soften and develop further with another year in bottle. Will keep 8 to 10 years.
