Delheim Cabernet Sauvignon - Shiraz is bright ruby in colour with a nose showing juicy red and blackberries, warm spice and pepper notes. On the palate you will find a velvety mouth-feel with a medium bodied structure showing red cherries, blackberries and black pepper with a slight savoury undertone.
The grapes are destalked and gently crushed and pumped into upright fermentation tanks. Fermentation is done over a two week period with pump-overs done 3 times a day.
The temperature is controlled at 28 °C. The wine is then pressed off the skins and malolactic fermentation is done in tanks.
Portions of the wine goes to 500 L and 300 L French oak barrels and then a portion remains in tank.
The wine is matured for 12 months before blending and bottling.
