Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2013 Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon – område: ikke angivet; druer: Cabernet Sauvignon; alkohol 13.6%. Producentens noter (engelsk): These sandy northwest-facing slopes were planted with the CS14 and CS163 clones in 1991. In 2013 the Cabernet Sauvignon got picked over a period of 8 days, starting on March 20th. Cold mac- eration lasted 5 days, before some of the components were inoculated WE 372, others with Viniferm Extra Color (isolated in a biodynamic habitat, with elevated Xylase activity) and the balance fer- mented spontaneously. A Delestage and mainly remontage (depending on the phenolic ripeness of the batch) is done 3 times per day for just under two weeks. Some batches fermented in new French barriques on an OXO-system and only got pressed after 5 weeks on the skins. The temperatures during fermentation are slightly higher than with the Syrah and peak at 30-31°C. 100% new French oak (Sylvain) is used for the Cabernet Sauvignon seeing that it’s got the structure and depth of fruit to support 26 month of maturation in new French oak. Egg-white and a loose bulk filtration are done before bottling. 804 cases were bottled.
