42 Degrees South Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2017

Classic varieties, early picking, gentle processing of exclusively free run juice, fine attention to juice composition and clarity, cold and slow fermentation with classic sparkling wine yeast and then extended yeast lees aging _ these are the hallmarks of our base wine production for AZAHARA. Each year, the best of these parcels are 'folded' into a modified solera system, which cross-blends at least six past vintages and the yeast autolysis products that have accumulated over this period. In this way, fresh, new wine flavours are blended with progressively older and more complex flavours. A final, secondary fermentation is then initiated to naturally charge the wine with its fizz and to bring everything into harmony.
