Description | Dark Horse Cabernet allures with jammy, dark fruit aromas of blackberry and black cherry, layered with sweet brown spices, toasted nutty oak and a hint of mocha. Firm tannins and a plush mouthfeel lead to a dark chocolate mocha finish. |
Vinification |
The grapes for our Dark Horse Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested at optimal ripeness which led to easy and early extraction of rich colour and velvety tannins in the fermenters. Warmer fermentations (31 - 33 °C or 88F - 92F) resulted in more intense flavours and fruity aromas. Post fermentation, the wines are aged to add complexity and balance to the wines. |
