- Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful and opulent but maintains an underlying thread of pure finesse—blackberries and spice jump from the glass, followed by secondary dark chocolate and anise notes. Perfectly balanced acidity leads to a long, memorable finish.
We hand-harvested grapes during cool morning hours as the fog blanketed the valley below. The wine was fermented in stainless steel and then underwent native malolactic fermentation in barrels to round acidity and softly integrate the vanillin character of French oak (82% new). After barrel ageing for 22 months, the wine was bottled without fining or filtration.

Winery | High-elevation wine growing requires a painstaking, labour-intensive approach. Thin, rocky soils and steep slopes make water retention challenging and erosion a threat, but the vines benefit from the struggle and produce concentrated flavours. The high altitude keeps midday temperatures cooler than those in the valley below, while the position above the fog line gives grapes longer daily exposure to sunlight. This regularly extends the growing season into November, and the increased hang time results in peak ripeness and full varietal complexity. |
