2021 Moss Wood Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Having finally reached required ripeness, everything proceeded according to our Moss Wood recipe.  All the fruit was hand-picked and delivered to the winery, where it was sorted, destemmed and placed into small, open fermenters for fermentation.  Skin contact time varied a little between batches, with pressing done after 13 to 16 days.  Malolactic fermentation was carried out in stainless steel and once completed all batches were racked to wood.  The barrels were 228 litre French oak and 16% were new.95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit VerdotThe various batches were blended for the first time in December 2022, and the finished wine was returned to barrel for the last period of aging.
