2002 Terra Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon
Comments
Ripe Berries, whiffs of raspberrries and blackcurrant - great varietal definition. Juicy tannins lead the palate to a spicy round finish encapsulating layers of fruit flavours.
Vinification Notes
Crushed and de-stemmed into closed fermenters. Maximum fermentation temperature between 25°C - 27°C. Pumped over 2 x per day, incorporating oxygen. Pressed using a bag press. Pressings kept separate from free run then fined and re-blended back to the free run.
Maturation
French and American oak were used to age the wine for 12 months.
Blend
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage Notes
The best vintage in the Barossa Valley in more than a decade. A very cool and mild summer provided an extremely long ripening period, resulting in fruit with perfectly balanced acidity and baume.
Harvested
April 2002
