<\/div>\nThe fruit for this wine was harvested from our Elgo Upton Hill Vineyard. Tiny black grape berries were promptly delivered to the Winery and were quickly and carefully de-stemmed and transferred to our open fermenters. The wine was hand plunged twice daily for 9 days, then pressed. This wine was matured in French Oak barrels for approximately 18 months.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\nOur Elgo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon can be enjoyed now, preferably decanted and to accompany a protein-rich dish to act as a robust foil to the wine\u2019s firm tannin structure. The tannins are not overly astringent and tend to have more of a cleansing effect at this stage. With careful cellaring this wine will evolve with distinction and the wine\u2019s structure will become further refined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
