Block 2 Cabernet
Cabernet Sauvignon
Block 2 is the original plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon on the Wild Dog Vineyard, planted in 1979 making them some of the oldest vine material in Gippsland. Block 2 is north facing on a gentle slope and ripens much earlier than Block 5. Grapes were all de-stemmed and kept on skins in open fermenters for 5 weeks with a gentle plunge each day. Pressed to Austrian oak puncheons where they remained for 12 months then racked and sulphured in the lead up to bottling.
