Normans Bin C183 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Deep dense crimson red. Lifted aromatics with ripe varietal blackcurrant and mulberry fruits blended skillfully with cedary oak.

Medium bodied palate offering up dark plum and blackberry with typical minty character which are so true to region. The tannins are smooth and dusty while some dried earth and leather character shows upon allowing the wine to open up.

Winemaking

Fruit was sourced from premium vineyards in the northern reaches of the Coonawarra region. The fruit was picked in the cool of night at optimum ripeness then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit acidity and flavour that Coonawarra wines are famous for. Following fermentation, pressing, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with matured oak.

Cellaring

This wine will be drinking beautifully upon release but will develop well in the bottle with cellaring medium term.
