Chateau Garage AMPHORA Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 750ml

An extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignon from the Gimblett Gravels of Hawke's Bay. Perfectly ripe Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested in pristine condition from the Cornerstone Vineyard block 3 on the 11th of April 2024.

The destemmed berries filled an Hungarian amphora. The fermentation was lightly plunged daily and once complete the amphora was sealed up on skins and seeds for 200 days. Finally pressed to an Italian ceramic spherical vessel and aged for 5 months prior to bottling.

Wonderful blackfruits, purple flowers, bramble and dried tobacco notes. A lovely brooding palate with richness and svelte tannins that go on forever.
