2023 Pendee Farm Cabernet Sauvignon

The Pendee Farm Vineyard is the backbone of the Brothers at War wines. Planted in the 1960s, this site was selected for its incredible soils, its unique sub climate & for its ability to produce truly unique varietal wines that are truly reflective of the region.
This varietal Cabernet has a nose of lifted violets, black currants and plums, and a pronounced palate of black cherries and mulberries with star anise. A complex, balanced wine which finishes with silky, lingering tannins.

Winemaking
Our single-vineyard Cabernet was destemmed not crushed into small open top fermenters, allowing for maximum control over the fermentation period. The fruit was then held at 10-15 degrees for three days, before being allowed to warm naturally and start fermentation. After 12 days on skins, the wines were pressed to 10% new 80% seasoned French oak Hogsheads where they matured for 15 months. No fining or filtration was used on these wines.
