Flametree 'Embers' Cabernet 2018

Soft extraction techniques and cooler than normal ferment temperatures have resulted in a generously-fruited, fleshy wine with lovely lifted Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics. All batches were fermented separately before being transferred into older French oak barrels to undergo maturation for 12 months. After maturation in barrel the wine was blended, fined, filtered and then bottled.

The 2018 Embers Cabernet has lifted aromas of violets, ripe black fruits with chocolate and cedar notes. This year’s wine is a little more structured and finer than the juicier 2016 vintage. Flavours of Satsuma plum, blackberry and chocolate underpin this year’s wine. Unashamedly medium bodied with soft fruit and a fine tannin structure.
