The Reserve Cabernet was first made in 1992 and in most years is sourced from fruit grown on the twenty year old Coldstream Hills G Block. As a later maturing variety, Cabernet Sauvignon requires careful site selection with north
facing hillside slopes being preferable.
The Reserve Cabernet is made using a number of techniques, including fermentation in small open fermenters and a portion undergoing extended maceration. Upon completion of fermentation, the wine is matured in new and used French oak barrels for a period of fifteen months. Silky and concentrated, this wine displays the essence of cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon and will reward careful cellaring for at least ten years.
