Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Hand-picked, crushed, destemmed, 21 days fermentation and maceration on skins in 1-tonne fermenters, plunged twice daily, matured in 4000l French foudres for 18 months, 5% cabernet franc from the Crayeres Vineyard added. Good colour, bouquet and palate; the mouthfeel is silky and fluid until fine-grained tannins make their appearance on the back-palate and finish; elegance is its watchword.
