WINE OF A DIFFERENT KIND

Cavalier

Why did Hillary climb Everest? Why did Mccaw pick up a ball? Why did Sheppard speak up? Because they believed! Greatness comes from a belief that there’s something.

Something more.
More to do, more to try, more to taste…

The Cavaliers of today are those of us compelled to go against the grain. We’ll leave the Pinot Chardignon Reislé to the followers.

Revisiting the past in search of something new. Tradition used as inspiration for change.

This is wine of a different kind.

WINEMAKING

This Cavalier is made in a style that references Cream Sherry but it is not a copy and it is quite different in their actual make up. Because we have such expressive fruit the alcohol is kept to a moderate level to better reveal aromatic detail. That means we do not fortify the wines with any spirit. The base wines are made as separate batches and blended closer to bottling.

During the winemaking process old barrels are used for their effect on complexity and texture, and combined with the use of cane sugar allows us to create a balance that aims for an indulgent, long structure.
