Mr. Riggs Wine Co. 'Outpost' Cabernet Sauvignon | Coonawarra

Picked on different days and from different blocks to allow for multiple blending options. Parcels of fruit for the Mr. Riggs 2019 “Outpost” Coonawarra Cabernet were separately fermented in 5 tonne open fermenters. The wine underwent on–skin fermentation for 7-10 days then pressed straight into oak to complete fermentation in a 30% new French and 5% American oak combination. This wine is intensely bright, floral and fragrant on the nose with lovely length on the palate. A perfectly balanced Cabernet, very worthy of its reputation.
