The Long Fuse Cabernet Sauvignon - Jordan
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Advanced techniques such as overhead fermenters, pumping over, and gravity flow (a signature of Jordan Wine Estate) allow for the extraction of fully developed aromas and soft, ripe tannins, without compromising the tension and elegance that come from the diverse slopes where Cabernet is grown.
In this case, the climate plays a fundamental role, favoring a great expression of the fruit and classic notes of cedar , brambles and toasted tobacco .
Food pairings: Cabernet Sauvignon enchants with grilled beef rib or entrecôte, braised beef cheek or pappardelle with wild boar ragù
Stopper: Cork | Alcohol 13.5% | Residual sugar 2.3 g/l | Total acid 5.8 g/l | pH 3.66.

Fermented in raised stainless steel fermenters. Three pumpovers per day were performed during fermentation. Selected tanks underwent extended maceration on the skins after fermentation. The wine was then racked into barriques, where it underwent malolactic fermentation.
