These vines laying close to an old creek bed, develop a vibrant canopy each year, providing cover for the slow ripening of the fruit allowing it to attain it richness without stress.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVintage Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eWith low winter rainfall and a warm start to spring, the 2019 vines emerged from dormancy early in the season. The warm weather saw bud burst occurring a couple of weeks prior to previous years. These ideal conditions saw the fruit fully ripen with in one of the lowest environmental stress years for quite some time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eHarvested at sunrise, the fruit was crushed to traditional open fermenters. These were then hand plunged each day and then basket pressed to ensure gentle colour, flavour and tannin extraction. Each parcel was kept separate until final blending, having spent 10 months in a selection of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads (300 Litres).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--End tab content--\u003e","brand":"Kilikanoon Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41227204296762,"sku":"KIBLO19W12","price":300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/7362\/8730\/files\/2023NewReleaseTemplate_18.png?v=1765417424","url":"https:\/\/kilikanoon.com.au\/products\/2019-blocks-road-cabernet-sauvignon-dozen","provider":"Kilikanoon Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
