Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

The 2022 growing season began with much-needed rainfall as dry, warm conditions in late 2021 had left the vines with little stored water. Fruit set was thus light, and early irrigation was necessary. A healthy bloom in May led to a balanced growing season with moderate temperatures and no significant heat spikes until August. Despite a significant, brief heat spike in early September, proactive measures like shade cloth and deep irrigations maintained vine health. By September 23, all grapes arrived in excellent condition, showcasing the ideal acidity and focused flavors to which they aspire.
