The Mackenzie 2017 is produced from a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot. This limited volume wine represents a single vineyard block where Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes grow side by side in deep red Tukulu soil. Each cultivar underwent malolactic fermentation separately in 100% new French oak. Matured for 19 months in 60% new French oak and 40% in 2nd-fill. Residual sugar: 1.8g/l. Bottled at 14.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Vibrant red fruit aromatics on the nose with touches of tobacco and cassis. A note of forest floor lifts from the glass.
Palate: The palate is elegant, plush and velvety all at once with flavours of plums and cherries underpinned by an earthy tone.
Finish: Ripe grippy tannins with lingering notes cedar oak and ripe blackberries.
