Product information "Stark-Condé Three Pines Cabernet Sauvignon 2016"
The strong condé Three Pines Cabernet Sauvignon pampers the connoisseur with delicious nuances of fragrant violets, blackcurrants and black cherries. On the palate, this first-class Cabernet Sauvignon presents itself with a dense structure, well-balanced complexity and a compact fruit core. Its elegant tannin structure and its incredibly stylish finesse promise pleasure on a very high level!
The "Three Pines" wine range consists of a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Syrah from high altitude vineyards in the Jonkershoek Valley in Stellenbosch. The name "Three Pines" refers to a viewpoint at the top of the farm, from where the highest vineyard sites of the winery can be seen.

The grapes for this Cabernet were cooled down to 14° C overnight after harvesting, destemmed the next morning and hand-sorted berry by berry with great care. The grapes were then crushed in small, open fermentation tanks and subjected to a cold swelling phase for 2-3 days until natural fermentation began. The following day the grapes were blended with South African and Bordeaux yeasts. 25% of the wine fermented completely naturally. Finally, the wine matured for 22 months in French oak barrels, 70% of which were new wood.
