R365,00
Notes of ripe black plum, blackberry compote, and Black Forest cake, layered with hints of cedar spice and subtle cocoa. The wine reveals a delicate mid-palate, with well-rounded tannins that complement its elegant weight and the poised, well-balanced acidity that is characteristics of Cavalli.

Specifications
In the cellar
The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with 3 to 4 pumpovers per day to promote gentle extraction in contrast, the Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc were fermented in small open-top vessels, where manual punchdowns were carried out 3 to 5 times daily for more precise tannin management. Post-fermentation, the individual batches received up to two weeks of extended skin contact to enhance structure and complexity. Following gentle pressing all components completed malolactic fermentation in barrel to round out texture and integrate the oak. Maturation took place in 225L French oak barriques for 18 months (35% first fill).
