Blue Pyrenees Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Blue Pyrenees Estate was established in 1963 by the French company Remy Martin, and was among the modern Australian wine industry’s first ventures into cool climate viticulture.

Today, Blue Pyrenees is 100 per cent Australian owned and is led by Chief Winemaker Andrew Koerner. Proud of the fact that all of their wines, including the Blue Pyrenees Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, are made from grapes grown in their vineyards and produced in their estate winery, Blue Pyrenees Estate are committed to making authentic, world class-quality wines.

The Victorian Pyrenees region is renowned for consistently producing Cabernet Sauvignon displaying complexity and definitive regional character. The warm 2017 – 2018 growing season provided some winter rains, a mild spring, then a dry summer and autumn to finish, allowing the grapes to easily achieve optimum ripeness.

Produced from select parcels of grapes sourced across our estate vineyard, the Blue Pyrenees Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 was fermented to dryness in two-tonne open fermenters and 15-tonne static fermenters. Subsequently, the wine was matured for 24 months in a combination of older French and American oak plus 10% tank matured with staves. Winery Notes
