Characteristics & Details
About this wine
The grapes to produce the Cabernet Sauvignon Graceland were hand-picked and fermented entirely with wild yeasts. Fifteen months in French oak barrels, 20% new oak. Bottled unfined; unfiltered.Harvested from vineyards planted in 2000 and 2013. As well, differing elevations, vineyard ages and soil structures enhance complexity.
Graceland, owned by Susan and Paul McNaughton, is a family run boutique winery, specialising in red wine. Susan, the driving force behind the winery, takes on the roles of marketer, winemaker and viticulturist whilst Paul attends to the farm’s administration and financial needs. During harvest, everyone lends a hand, even the children and dogs. The Graceland wine making philosophy starts in the vineyard where no insecticides are used and minimal spraying. The most important decision each year is when to pick and this is done in small batches according to the microclimate which determines when each row becomes optimally ripe. As to winemaking, the winery is very natural in its approach: only grapes and nitrogen. Sulphur dioxide levels are considerably lower than average.
