Tasting Notes
This Cabernet Sauvignon shows both varietal character and the warmth of this warm inland region. Pronounced ripe fruit and spice, plump red and black berries, menthol, eucalyptus, cedar and some vanillin from oak. The palate is weightly and muscular with bold tannins and lots of concentration.
Method
The grapes for the Stomper’s Cabernet Sauvignon from Nugan Estate grow in the Riverina. Mild temperatures at the beginning of the season provide a long ripening period which allow for slow even ripening. Additionally to this, is the development of high quality fruit. The grapes are harvested, destemmed and chilled. Fermentation takes place in small static fermenters. After this, the wine is pressed and put into a combination of French and American oak barrels for a further 12 months maturation.
