Clairault Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 90%, Petit Verdot 8%, Cabernet Franc 2%
Vintage: The 2009 was a fairly classic Margaret River vintage, especially for teh Cabernet Sauvignon, where th hot, dry Summer conditions made way for a true Autumn of cold nights and mild days; ideal for acid retention and tannin development in Cabernet Sauvignon.
Vinification: The fruit was fermented in small open fermenters for 8 to 26 days on skins before maturation in French Oak barriques (20% new) for 12 - 18 months.
