Producentens noter (engelsk): Vinification: The Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 was vinified from selected fruit from low-yielding mature vineyards. The vines are densely planted on gravelly, low vigour Vilafontes and Dundee soil which has approximately 15 % clay to ensure water availability to the vines roots right through the growing season. The hand picked fruit was vinified in the traditional manner with partial un-inoculated fermentation and regular remontage. Only the free-run wine was used and aged for 18 months in tight grained French Nevers oak barrels. 70% of the barrels were brand new with 30 % second fill casks. Soil: Decomposed granite topsoil with clay subsoil. Ageing potential: Although approachable now the Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 will be best from 4 - 15 years from vintage.
