Brands Laira One Seven One Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The fruit for this wine was sourced from the ‘No.1’ Cabernet block (also known as the ‘Young Cabernet’) planted in 1971 on the vineyard adjacent to Coonawarra township on classic Terra Rossa soil. 

The wine components were fermented on skins in 10t submerged cap stainless steel open top fermenters for a period of seven days with pumping over twice a day to ensure optimal extraction of flavour and colour. The wine was then pressed off skins while still slightly sweet and pumped to new fine grained French oak barrique and hogshead barrels to complete primary and malolactic fermentation (MLF). On completion of fermentation, the wine was racked off lees for clarification and siphoned back into the same barrels for maturation. 

During the first six months of barrel maturation the wine was racked barrel to barrel by hand a further two times to achieve the required wine clarity and assist in wine development. Total maturation time in oak was 20 months. At completion of maturation, individual barrels were assessed before being selected for inclusion.
