Technical Analysis:

Alcohol: 13.50%
Residual Sugar: 2.7 g/l
pH: 3.64
Total Acidity: 5.5 g/l
These metrics indicate a well-structured wine with balanced acidity and a moderate alcohol level, ideal for aging and developing further complexity over time.

Description:

Ageing Potential: 3-8 years. This window suggests that while the wine is approachable now, it will continue to evolve and improve, gaining depth and richness.
Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, highlighting the pure expression of the grape.
Vinification:
The wine underwent a fermentation process at 26°C for 14 days, employing manual pump-overs and the rack and return method to ensure maximum color and flavor extraction from the small, concentrated berries typical of dry land conditions. It was then aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, with 30% new oak, adding layers of complexity and enhancing the wine’s structure without overshadowing the natural fruit flavors.

Harvest:

Date: March 2015. The timing ensured that the grapes were picked at optimum ripeness, as indicated by the rich, warm aromas and the full-bodied, extracted palate contributed by the small berry size.
Tasting Notes:

Aroma and Flavor: This Cabernet Sauvignon offers intense red berry flavors, beautifully complemented by hints of vanilla and spice. A prominent black pepper character adds depth and spiciness to the palate.
Finish: The wine is well-balanced with good acidity and soft tannins, making it both robust and smooth. The finish is lingering, leaving a rich and satisfying aftertaste.
Current Awards:

2018 Vintage: Top 100 – Double Gold. This accolade underscores the quality and appeal of this wine, marking it as a standout in its category.
Food Pairing:
The robust character of this Cabernet Sauvignon makes it an ideal pairing for hearty meat dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with Karoo lamb kebabs on rosemary sticks, where the herbal notes of rosemary and the richness of the lamb complement the wine’s spicy and fruity profile.

Overall Impression:
The Ormonde “Chip Off the Old Block” Cabernet Sauvignon is a luxurious and compelling wine that showcases the best attributes of its varietal and terroir. It is perfect for those who appreciate a complex and rich red wine, capable of aging gracefully while still being enjoyable in its youth. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, this wine promises to deliver a memorable drinking experience.
