Capaia Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

The vintage 2009 will be remembered as “this is as good as it gets”. The climate and temperatures were moderate to cool throughout the harvest season, allowing the vines to ripen the berries evenly and to optimum ripeness.

These favourable conditions show in the wine and especially the Merlot which was used in our blend… soft tannin structure and velvety pallet while supported by enough dark berry flavours from the Cabernets to fill the mouth.

After fermenting the selected blocks in Capaia’s trade mark wooden fermenters, the wine was brought under natural gravity flow to barrel where it matured for an extended period of 15 months in second and third fill barrels.

The Capaia Merlot Cabernet 2009 is perfectly balanced and thus allows you to enjoy it right now, or to keep it for a couple of years for an even more rewarding taste.
