Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon

$61.99

Cabernet Sauvignon is by far, our biggest selling juice. The reason for that is simple, it is a well known grape that is great on its own and is absolutely killer in blends. It is full bodied, with balanced notes of dark fruit, and medium tannins. We like to make this with oak, and it blends well with just about every other red juice we offer. 

Our 2018 Cabernet is lower in acidity compared to most years. We recommend adding 2 grams per litre of our acid blend to the juice at fermentation. 

 

2018 Harvest Brix° 24.7

Potential Alcohol: 14.9

Cabernet Sauvignon - France

These thick skinned and richly dark coloured grapes are grown in almost every wine growing region across the world and are strongly resistant to rot and frost. These grapes, a cross of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, are a relatively new introduction since the 17th century.

Juice Description

• Long flavours with vegetable notes

• Thick skinned, it imparts heavy tannins and phenols.

• Full aromas of black currants and crushed black pepper

• Has strong acidity that helps its longevity

Wine Description

• One of the most widely used varieties for blending.

• Cabernets love the spice and vanilla of Oak barrel aging.

• Cabernets also have been found to hold higher levels “Resveratrol” that studies show can reduce the risk factors associated with Alzheimer’s disease

Winemaker's Notes

• Wine responds well to 6-24 months of aging

• Cabernet is a terrific blending wine. It blends well with Barbera, Syrah, Merlot, Sangiovese, and Malbec

• It is the major wine in our Bordeaux Blend (45% Cab, 30% Merlot, 25% Syrah)

• We recommend oaking this wine

Our juices are packaged in a food grade 11.2L (2.9 U.S.gallon) plastic canister that are hermetically sealed.  After we harvest, crush and press the grapes, we then Flash Pasteurize the juice and hot fill them, to ensure, a clean, bacteria and yeast free environment.

Each canister weighs approximately 12.8kg (28.2lbs) and comes with one 5g package of our preferred Yeast. Our shelf stable juices will last up to 18 months in their original packaging.
