Ridgeback Cabernet Sauvignon

VITICULTURE:
The North – South facing vineyards are grown in deep Oakleaf soils and are vertically shoot positioned and irrigated according to soil moisture availability and leaf water potential schedules. Leaf plucking in the bunch zone enables sufficient sunlight penetration into the canopy ensuring ripe tannins and optimal berry flavour at harvest.

TASTING NOTES
Classic upfront cassis, dark plum and a hint of mint evolves to notes of cigar box and dried herbs. Firm, ripe tannin, wood spice and minerality linger on the finish.

FOOD PAIRING
The bold nature of this Cabernet Sauvignon ideally lends itself to red meat, big and bold Rib eye or Venison.
