Harvest was two weeks early, the result of a warmer than average October which advanced the whole season. There was a cooler finish with mild ripening conditions. Another very good vintage in a run of good vintages since 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMajella Cabernet Sauvignon is fermented in both static and rotary stainless steel fermenters with fermentation being completed in 300 litre barrels and the wine was then aged for a further 18 months in new and second use French oak hogsheads. All Cabernet Sauvignon parcels are kept separate to assess batch quality prior to blending and bottling off site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is dark magenta in colour, with a deep red hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMint, eucalypt, dark fruit and savoury aromas are evident on the nose, with a well structured palate with lots of minty \/ cassis flavours and fine tannins with good length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Coonawarra \/ South Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: Static and rotary stainless steel fermenters; fermentation completed in 300 litre barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 18 months in new and second use French oak hogsheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53013625209195,"sku":"SK21959497","price":79.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/MAJELLACabernetSauvignon_Coonawarra2016Bottle_6b650010-8888-457f-af19-2df6e1417d37.png?v=1780389248","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2016-majella-cabernet-sauvignon-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
