Aylesbury Estate The Pater Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The grapes for this Ferguson Valley Cabernet Sauvignon were destemmed with the fermentation seeing twice daily pump overs. Maturation was for a year and a half in French oak barriques, 40% new. 4,887 bottles made. Very dark maroon in hue, on the nose we have notes of bay leaves, cherries, coffee grinds, animal skins, beef stock and red fruits. A supple texture, the wine is perhaps a little broad, but finishes with some persistence and very fine tannins. For enjoying over the next six to eight years.
