Streicker Nysa 'Cabernets Blend' 2018

Blend

The Cabernet Franc imparts the general personality, bringing delicate yet intense aromatics and fine elegant tannin. Whilst the Cabernet Sauvignon introduces a slighter darker spectrum of red fruits to the core of the wine and a touch of weight and persistence to an otherwise porcelain palate. Each parcel of fruit is kept separate during fermentation and maturation.

Tasting Note

Aromas of red cherries, cassis, wet slate and violets, hints of graphite, blue berries and cedar. A supple entry of red and black fruit, bound by porcelain tannin and succulent natural acidity, dripping in flavours of black berries and cocoa. A luscious finish, gently dotted with tones of crushed granite, red and black currants and glazed cherries.

Cellaring

Cellaring is a very much a personal preference and based on an individual’s palate. If you like bright, fresh, primary fruit, enjoy this wine over the next 8 years. If you prefer the tannins to soften and complex savoury notes to develop, careful cellaring of up to 20 years will be rewarded.
