Whole cluster fermentation to limit extraction from the skins followed by fermentation in French oak (for KTY we only used barrels with enough age to virtually limit the barrel character but still impart roundness and richness)

2018 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Sydafrika A refined and subtle syrah2018 is the darkest, inkiest vintage in my memory, the result of an extremely long, cool ripening season with cold nights. Happily, natural acidity persists during ripening under these conditions and wildly complex flavors and aromas result. Because the weather was perfect at flowering, we had a bumper crop of deliciousness, making everyone happy. Violet and dried rose perfume jumps out of the glass along with tart cherry, blueberry, plum and cassis
