More about this item

Production

A mix of hand and machine harvested fruit, the Cabernet Franc from the Black Sage bench arrives at the winery nice and cold from early morning picks. Most of the grapes were then destemmed and partially crushed, leaving some whole berries, and some whole clusters. Fermented in both closed and open top fermenters and allowed to ferment naturally with no added yeast. These fermentations typically are warmer and are much less vigorous, leading to a long, slow (6-8 weeks long), gentle extraction of colour, tannin and flavour. The wines were then pressed and racked to oak barrels, a mix of French, American and Hungarian oak, for malolactic fermentation and aging. Maturation ranged from 14-16 months depending on how the wines tasted, before being racked to tank, blended and finally bottled.
