ALKOOMI COLLECTION (formerly known as The BLACK LABEL)
Variety: Cabernet/Malbec/Cabernet Franc/Merlot
The Blackbutt is a fine tuned blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%), Malbec (14%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Merlot (1%) from the oldest blocks of estate grown fruit. The parcels are fermented separately in small open vats and hand plunged 3 times a day before pressing and maturation in French oak for 20 months.
Lifted aromas of cassis, tobacco and dried herbs. Complex flavours of cassis layered with earthy forest floor notes with a vibrant line of acidity that carries the dusty, fine grained tannin structure to an even, balanced finish.
