Purple Hands Planta Circa Ancestor Vine Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Fermented with indigenous yeast, hand-plunging 3-4 times daily, 12 days on skins, basket-pressed and transferred into new (50%) and seasoned oak, mlf, left on lees for 6 months, racked and returned to oak for 9 months. Eye- catching deep purple for a wine that shows stylish winemaking at every step. Old vines may be the star, but good winemaking brings added lustre. Aromas of loamy earth, ripe cassis, garden mint and dried leaves. A wealth of bright notes on the palate, sweetly spiced oak, supple tannins with tight finish. A keeper.
