Product information "Tokara Cabernet Sauvignon 2014"
The Tokara Cabernet Sauvignon has a brilliant ruby red colour and exudes seductive aromas of cassis and fragrant cedar wood. Notes of marigold, dried herbs and a hint of mint beguile the senses. Notes of dark cherry, fruit cake, cedar wood and warm spices caress the palate. Lush, full-bodied and full-bodied, this great Cabernet Sauvignon ends in a dry and pleasant finish with wonderfully integrated notes of oak.

The grapes were destemmed and all remains were removed by hand at the sorting table and then pressed directly into stainless steel tanks and wooden foudres. The must was allowed to cool down and then subjected to a cold swelling phase before fermentation with natural yeasts began. Twice a day the cake was submerged and juice was pumped over it until the fermentation was completed. The wine was put into barrels for malolactic fermentation. The Tokara Cabernet Sauvignon matured for a total of 18 months in French barriques. 25% of the barrels were new wood, while the rest were older French oak barrels.
