Vinification
Fermentation took place in small stainless steel tanks at 26°C – 30°C and was completed in 10 to 15 days, with a further 5 to 15 days of extended skin maceration post fermentation. Malolactic fermentation was in stainless steel tanks before the young wine went into the barrel, with around 10% in new American oak and the rest a combination of older American and French oak barrels.
Food Pairing
Brampton Cabernet Sauvignon stands up well to food such as spaghetti and meatballs, braised short rib and sticky slow roasted pork belly.
