Place

The Meyman’s Cabernet Sauvignon is masterfully composed from Kilikanoon’s diverse vineyard sites and sub-regions, across the Clare Valley, delivering an elegant and approachable style.

Vintage Conditions

Following a mild winter temperatures, the vines emerged from their dormancy earlier than usual. This coupled with enduring mild weather during the growing season resulted in slower ripening and elongated time on the vine. These idea conditions allowed the fruit to ripen evenly and slowly giving natural acid retention while developing varietal character and flavour ripeness at lower sugar levels. It also allowed individual parcels to be selected at the most opportune time as the seasonal rush to harvest was alleviated.

Winemaking

Harvested at sunrise, the fruit was crushed to traditional open fermenters, this is then hand plunged each day and then basket pressed to ensure gentle colour, flavour and tannin extraction. Each parcel is kept separate until final blending after 14 months in a selection of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads (300 Litres).
