In Stellenbosch, Cabernet is king and with the Miles Mossop Chapters Cabernet Sauvignon the production still super-limited, making it extra special!
Let's take the journey into this limited wine, the fruit is juicy to the core – cassis, mulberries, redcurrants and graphite aplenty. It’s bright and fresh with fine, chalky tannins. Sourced from a parcel in the Polkadraai area of Stellenbosch on decomposed granite this is a Cape red wine not to be missed with a total production of only 4187 bottles!
Treatment in the cellar
This Cabernet Sauvignon is from an old vineyard planted in 2001 in the Polkadraai ward of Stellenbosch. Growing on decomposed granite, sandy loam soils with a high fraction of coffee stone gravel.
The grapes were hand harvested into small grape crates and placed in cold storage overnight. The following day the fruit was bunch sorted, then destemmed followed by berry sorting before being transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. There was an initial cold soak of five days before the cooling was turned off and the wine started fermentation naturally. Two pump-overs a day were implemented for extraction The wine spent a total of 18 days on the skins. The wine went to barrel for malolactic fermentation. Small 225L French oak barrels were used, 15% being new and the balance older barrels. The wine matured in barrel for 22 months with four racking’s to help clarify the wine.
The wine was bottled without fining or filtration.
