To taste the wine has a list of red and black fruits in cherries, blueberries and blackberry. The wine is fresh in its lively acid but has a rumble of high-quality tannin that underlies the fruit and finish of fine length. This wine has been built for the cellar and shows the hallmarks of a fine Yarra vintage for Cabernet. It will reward patience.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"RadLabel RadLabel_Default\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ContentPlaceHolder1_StoreContentPlaceHolder1_ProductDetailFormView_divWinemaking\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWinemaking Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_StoreContentPlaceHolder1_ProductDetailFormView_WinemakingNotesRadLabel\" class=\"RadLabel RadLabel_Default\"\u003eHand-picked 11th of March\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_StoreContentPlaceHolder1_ProductDetailFormView_WinemakingNotesRadLabel\" class=\"RadLabel RadLabel_Default\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Elevage: Fruit is crushed and transferred to large format wooden fermenters for primary fermentation. 4-day cold soak, then plunged once per day until the ferment has concluded, this is followed by a 7 day post-fermment maceration. The wine is then pressed to French oak (30% new) for indigenous malolactic conversion and maturation. 11 months in oak, then racked twice prior to bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"RadLabel RadLabel_Default\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ContentPlaceHolder1_StoreContentPlaceHolder1_ProductDetailFormView_divViticultural\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eViticultural Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_StoreContentPlaceHolder1_ProductDetailFormView_ViticulturalNotesRadLabel\" class=\"RadLabel RadLabel_Default\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon clone: SA125 planted in 1993\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit for this single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on our Isabella‘s vineyard on Briarity Road in Gruyere.\u003cbr\u003eGrown on ancient, mountain derived sandy clay loams, these rocky soils combined with our 27 year -old vines are at the heart of this wine.\u003cbr\u003eOptimal conditions for both flowering and fruitset in the vineyards gave well balanced yields with plenty of promise leading into the 2019 harvest. A dry January and February followed, culminating in a relatively compressed vintage, though attention to detail in the vineyards gave winemakers wonderfully balanced fruit with concentration of flavour and exceptional natural acidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rochford Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378392326253,"sku":"CLEARANCE-F1","price":36.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/Rochford-Single-Vineyard-Isabellas-Cabernet-Sauvignon-2019.jpg?v=1768586775","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/rochford-estate-isabellas-cabernet-sauvignon-single-vineyard-2019-clearance","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
