2021 Lock & Key Cabernet Sauvignon

A perfectly ripe and balanced Cabernet. There’s a rich dark core of brambly fruit and nuances of aniseed and dark cocoa. A vibrant and elegant wine with fine supple tannins.

We make every effort in the vineyard to promote fruit quality. Minimal irrigation, bunch-thinning and careful pruning ensures low yields of highly concentrated fruit. Leaf thinned & shoot thinned. Yields are cropped at 2.5 tonnes per acre.

Cold soaked pre-ferment, 9 day fermentation, 14 day extended maceration post ferment, barrel aged in new and used French hogsheads and barriques with multiple rackings to clarify, aerate (enhancing the sensory properties of the wine) and to help form Pigmented Tannins which improve mouthfeel and stabilize colour.
