Step Road Blackwing Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 (6 x 750mL) McLaren Vale, SA

Description:

WINEMAKING

Grapes are picked on both colour and flavour TECHNIQUES development. Picked at night to enable a cold onset to fermentation. Once crushed they are then fermented for 7-10 days at around 20 degrees, in small batches using neutral yeast, to allow regional fruit expression.

The ferment is then pressed using an airbag press. A soft pressing is used, so we do not extract the bitter tannin, producing a fruit driven style of wine. After we have pressed the wine, it is allowed to go through natural malolactic fermentation. Following maturation the wine is blended and prepared for bottling.
