Mere Road Cabernet
Franc 2009 6x
75cl Bottles
£93.43
Our Mere Vineyard is one of the driest in the Gimblett Gravels area. The warm, dry conditions during the critical ripening phase of 2009 season saw berries gain in concentration & intensity almost by the hour. The berries were small & few in number but extremely flavoursome. We only allowed one bunch per shoot to ensure further intensity. Our winemaker carefully managed the extraction process utilizing both pumpover & delestage techniques. This enabled us to capture the delicate aromas of this wine. Fermented as individual components the wines were drained, pressed off & settled before being run to French oak barriques where malolactic conversion occurred. Lifted with violet, dark chocolate, bramble & red currant nuances, the nose is vividly fragrant with varietal aromas. Once on the palate dark fruit characters are framed by taut, elegant tannins. Finely textured but well-structured, the palate leads into a long, elegant, aromatic finish. A striking red to enjoy with rare beef, now or after a decade in a cool cellar. ...

Crossroads Winery - Kereru Road Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 6x 75cl
Bottles

2009 was a superb season memorable for the duration and sunny warmth of its hazy Autumn. Early vine regulation limited crop to just one bunch per shoot which ensured the fruit's natural concentration.After a hands on, open top vinification including hand plunging and delestage, the components were allowed an extended post-ferment maceration. Once complete the batches were settled and run to French oak barriques, just over half of which were new. With 14 months in oak, malolactic fermentation slowly took place enhancing texture and stabilizing the wine's structure. From separate parcels the final blend was assembled, then bottled without fining and only a light filtration. Deep red in colour and laced with dark aromas of black dorris plum and cigar box. The palate has good intensity,
smooth in texture with elegant rounded tannins. Subtle notes of bramble and cranberry lead into an elegant, long finish. Enjoy now with fillet steak and garlic butter or cellar dark and cool for a decade.
