Shofang Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Grape Varietals & Region:100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Hebei, China

Inheriting her familys vineyard at a time where neighbours were digging up their vines to plant higher-yielding crops, Shofang and her partner Levi have modernised their 30-year-old winery by rejecting the domestic demand for heavy Cabernet Sauvignons, instead using their Australian winemaking experience to work with old-vine Muscat Hamburg, using neutral oak, and opting for pure and aromatic cuves

Taste Profile:Reductive notes with a touch of game. Spicy nuances and hints of liquorice. The palate shows boiled-sweet fruit, soft tannins, and a finish of strawberry, blueberry jam and mild chocolate

Winemaking Process: Hand-harvested, destemmed and fermented for 2 weeks in open-top fermenters, pressed into barrel for MLF. Aged in 100% used oak for 10 months
