Every aspect of the winemaking process is carefully controlled during the production of Grand Estates. These uncompromising winemaking practices – while time-consuming and costly – are the only way to guarantee that every bottle of Grand Estates represents the varietal expression of the region. It’s this devotion to quality that has cemented Grand Estates as one of the world’s best wine values. The purple-colored Grand Estate Cabernet Sauvignon spent 16 months in 33%new oak barrels. Cedar, tobacco, incense, violets, spice box, black currant and blackberry aromas inform the nose of a layered, spicy, easy-to-understand Cabernet that is nicely balanced and moderately lengthy. It is a good value that will provide enjoyment for another 4 or 5 years.
From the winemaker – “Aromas and flavors of dark red fruits reveal a bold style of Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine displays fruit complexity and structure.”
