Winemakers Notes: For this luscious organic red wine, the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were hand-harvested from vines on Southbrook’s Biodynamic vineyard. The grapes were fully destemmed and fermented wild in eight-ton oak fermenters and left on skins for 31 days. After pressing, the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 18 months before careful barrel selection and blending. No fining and a light filtration was done before bottling.
As the the first wine estate in Canada to earn both organic and biodynamic certification for its vineyard as well as winery, Southbrook Vineyards takes a leadership role in the wine community by mentoring, educating and sharing in an effort to encourage a growing understanding of organic and biodynamic methods.
