The whole berries were cold soak and fermented dry on the skin. After the wine completed the malolactic
fermentation, it was racked into new French oak barrels. It matured in the barrels for 12 months. The wine
was filtered and bottled.
Winemaker’s Comments
The limited release Inkará Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were carefully handpicked and selected from terroir
specific vineyards to produce a premium quality wine. The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness to
ensure soft round tannins and subtle ripe black fruit on the palate. It was delicately oak matured for more
complexity and extra dimension. Rich, spicy flavours and smokiness on the nose. It calls for good quality
meat dishes, including steak, stews and roast. Excellent ageing potential.
