Vintage Conditions

De Trafford Cabernet Sauvignon 1994 represents the flagship wine from the boutique cellar - a selection of the best barrels.  The hot and dry, trouble free summer produced an early harvest of small berries from particularly low yielding vines with intense fruit flavours.

Harvest date:  12 / 2 / 94 – 26 / 2 / 94 @ 21 – 24.5° balling.

Tasting Notes

The result - a dense, purple tinted wine with a concentrated nose of blackberries and spicy new oak.  Full flavoured, rich and complex on the palate.  Classically structured with great length and finesse, it should develop well over the next 4 to 10 years.  Ideal with most rich red meat dishes.
