Zema Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (Coonawarra)

Coonawarra is renowned for its remarkable Terra Rossa soil, a thin metre band of soil over laying a deep formation of limestone. The Zema family is proudly traditional in it's approach to vineyard practices, favouring hand pruning and limited irrigation to maximise fruit quality. These practices are enhanced by the family’s three strategically selected prime vineyard locations, capitalising on the regions subtle climatic variations.

The Estate range wines are vibrant expressions of varietal flavour. The Cabernet Sauvignon was made from fruit which was harvested at its optimum maturity. The wine was fermented for 7 days under controlled temperatures in a combination of rotary and static fermenters. Maturation for 16 months in small French oak barrels has assisted in the development of a wine that shows vibrancy and richness. Subsequently, aged in bottle for two years for smoothness and drinkability. Winery Notes.
