Tasting Notes for Organic Hill Founders Preservative Free Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 from the Winery

This super-premium certified Organic wine is made specifically preservative free and vegan, driven organic passion and ‘raison d’être’. A deep purple colour with ruby hues. The nose exudes aromas of fresh blackcurrant, cassis and tobacco leaf. The palate is rich in blackcurrants and ripe red berry flavours with fine-grained tannins blending seamlessly with the fresh lifted fruit flavours. Its medium body and fine acid structure lends a lovely balance and complexity.

Vintage and Style Notes

The Cabernet grapes were harvested from a certified organic and biodynamic vineyard, in the premium McLaren Vale region. At the winery they were partially crushed into a static fermenter and inoculated with an organic Bordeaux yeast strain to enhance the fruit characters and optimum fermentation. The juice was then pumped over skins for seven days for optimum extraction of flavour, tannins and colour before the grapes were dropped with the aid of gravity into the press and the wine pressed off into pristine stainless steel. Following malolactic fermentation in tank the finished wine was bottled early without finings or Sulphur Dioxide additions, to retain its freshness, vibrancy and its ‘preservative free’ warranty.
