Produced from meticulously hand-harvested grapes, this wine reflects Cavalli Estate's commitment to precision winemaking and restrained oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"390\" data-end=\"995\"\u003eThe grapes were hand-picked and carefully sorted in the cool early morning before fermentation in stainless steel tanks with two open pump-overs daily to gently extract colour, flavour, and fine tannins. Following fermentation, the wine underwent an additional week of extended skin contact to build complexity and structure before completing malolactic fermentation in tank. It was then matured for 24 months in 225L French oak barriques, with approximately 30% first-fill oak, adding subtle spice and texture while allowing the purity of the fruit to shine. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"997\" data-end=\"1249\"\u003eMedium-bodied yet beautifully structured, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers concentrated dark fruit, refined oak integration, and a long, plush finish.
