Clarence Hill ‘Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 x 6

$390.00

Originally founded in 1990 and now part of Nick Haselgrove Wine’s stable, Clarence Hill today is known for making wines style and drinkability using our vineyards and our family of growers.
In a winemaker’s journey through the annual vintage, special parcels of fruit are identified—this wine uses two vineyards across the McLaren Vale district. Grapes are allowed to ripen fully before open fermentation with longer extraction.
Part of the wine is pressed a little early to allow partial barrel fermentation in new American oak barrels, predominately American oak (~90%) in this wine. Time in oak is around 22 months.
After blending and bottling and allowed to mature in bottle until release. This vintage is sealed with Stelvin LUX

Bottle size: 750 mL
