Flametree SRS Cabernet 2014
This is a classic Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon is medium to full bodied in structure with a powerful palate and fine grained tannins. The nose is displaying berry with dark chocolate undertones. The palate also displays elegance and freshness, with a beautiful balance of fruit and oak flavours, the result of 14 months oak maturation.
Clean, selective machine harvested fruit was tipped directly into a small open top fermenter without putting the fruit through a traditional crusher destemmer. After a few days the fruit warmed and the wild ferment kicked in. They worked the cap by hand for soft tannin extraction and aeration. Ferment temperatures were maintained around 27°C. After extended skin contact for around 30 days the wine was pressed into 50% new French oak for 14 months maturation.
