Clarence Hill ‘Reserve’ Cabernet 2021 6 Pack

$390.00

In a winemaker’s journey through the annual vintage, special parcels of fruit are identified—this wine uses fruit from McLaren Flat. Grapes are allowed to ripen fully before open fermentation with longer extraction, including use of cold soak maceration.
From a 40 year old vineyard in McLaren Flat we allowed full maturity then harvested to open fermenters for a long cool fermentation prior to maturation in a mixture of oak barrels of which 25% are new.
After blending individually selected barrels this wine is bottled. We decided to use DIAM cork for this wine to allow wine development
