Tasting Notes

This 2018 vintage of Fermoy Cabernet Sauvignon features a rich plum red colour with black tints. Notes of salted raspberry, mulberry, bramble, tobacco, and bay leaf are complemented by complex hints of ground coffee, dark chocolate, and five spice. On the mid-palate, the wine showcases an abundance of fruit sweetness, specifically cassis, raspberry, and olive tapenade notes. The savoury elements of tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and hints of exotic spice, bitter cocoa, and graphite provide depth and complexity. A refreshing acid line offers poise and length, while a range of fine, earthy tannins creates structure and form. Enjoy with a roasted leg of lamb, minted peas, and potato dauphinoise for a perfect pairing.

Winery & Vintage Info

Fruit sourced from various blocks – a combination of hand- and machine-picked fruit was de-stemmed to a mix of open and static fermenters. Generally, ferments were cold-soaked, with a controlled ferment allowing for considered and gentle maceration on skins. Wines spent between 2–4 weeks on skins, depending on the parcel and fermenter, with MLF completed before pressing off-skins to tank for a quick settle before racking to oak. Wines then spent the next 18 months in oak with no racking or movement – just a monthly topping. Cabernet blends were assembled according to barrel selection, prior to a light egg fining, long-term settling in tank and filtration before bottling.

18 months maturation in a combination of new (30%) and seasoned French oak barriques.
