Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Red wine Cultivar: Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most well-known cultivar and produces the flagship of our cellar.
Alcohol / 14,5 % Residual Sugar /2,8 g/L
Style: Well spiced nose of black pepper and mint combined with soft almond overtones en route to a fleshy voluptuous berry palate. Flagship of Oude Wellington!
Vinification: The Cabernet Sauvignon was fermented in open tanks for 12 days, between 26°and 29° C. The fermentation "cap" (skins that float to the top of the wine) was hand-plunged into the heart of the wine several times per day while simultaneously pumping the wine over. The fermented skins were given the gentlest of pressing in a traditional basket press before being selectively blended with the free run wine. The wine was matured in a variety of imported French barriques (225 Liter Barrels): 30% new Seguin Morreau Medium toast: 20% new Tonnelerie Gatard medium toast, 25% 2nd use and 25% 3rd use . Wood maturation for 14 months, before the wine was bottled in December 2006.
