WINEMAKING

The winemaking process begins with a careful cold soak lasting 7 days, allowing gentle extraction of colour, flavour, and aromatic compounds while preserving the fruit's elegant characteristics.

This meticulous approach continues with a 14-day fermentation period, optimising the development of complex flavours and structural elements that define premium Cabernet.

Following fermentation, Curtis Legion undergoes an extensive 36-month maturation in oak barrels. This patient aging process allows the wine to develop remarkable complexity while softening its structure and integrating subtle oak characteristics with the fruit's natural expression.

The extended barrel aging bestows the wine with sophisticated layers of flavour and a refined texture that complements the varietal's inherent silkiness. This careful maturation transforms excellent fruit into an exceptional wine, creating depth and nuance that only time can provide.

Aging potential 10 - 30 years 

TASTING NOTE

The Legion Cabernet Sauvignon is ruby red in colour. Aromas of mixed red berry fruits with lifted peppery spice.​

Medium to full-bodied with complex flavours of ripe berries, coffee beans & chocolate. A classically crafted wine to display intensity in flavour & structure.
