Levantine Hill Levant Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (Yarra Valley)

Grapes sourced from blocks of east-west orientated rows on our Maroondah Highway vineyard. Hand-picked and sorted, the fruit was de-stemmed, crushed and tipped directly to small open vats. A considered amount of stalks were added back to complement aroma, complexity and tannin. Fermentation and cuvaison was conducted for 14 to 21 days with the ferment temperature reaching 32°C. Vats were hand-plunged or pumped-over a maximum of once per day. The wine underwent 22 months of oak maturation.
