BROCKS REEF
Cabernet Merlot 2007
LIMESTONE COAST

A product of mateship, the Brocks Reef range is produced using best parcels of fruit selected from neighbouring premium vineyards across the Limestone Coast.

The 2007 growing season was warm and dry in Mount Benson (from which the fruit for this wine was exclusively sought this year), offering lower-than-average yields with exceptional intensity at all levels. delivering medium yields and achieving warm and well-balanced fruit characters.  All batches were fermented separately in stainless steel fermenters and matured in French barriques for 18 months before being carefully blended.

This blend of 90% cabernet and 10% merlot has an elegant bouquet of plum with hints of lavender and dusty oak, while the palate is medium-bodied offering bursts of mulberry balanced by well-integrated oak.
