The Bartinney Skyfall Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterly representative of this noble grape variety. Pressed from small berries with a very intense taste, this highly endowed wine expresses the unmistakable Banghoek terroir of Stellenbosch in a wonderful way. Smooth and dense, it presents itself to the connoisseur with a velvety mouthfeel. Ripe and expressive nuances of Christmas plum pudding, cherry and tobacco, as well as creamy notes of French oak, are a delight to the palate. Skyfall is a powerful and fresh wine with well-structured tannins and excellent ageing potential. A stunningly rich and full-bodied Cabernet!

The grape material for this first-class Cabernet Sauvignon comes from eight different vine blocks, which are individually tended and pruned to favour a variety of different character traits in the berries. Only the best grapes from these eight blocks were hand-picked for the production of Skyfall Cabernet Sauvignon and fermented and ripened separately. Fermentation lasted for 14 days, followed by a further maceration phase. Once fermentation was completed, the wine matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 80% of which were new wood and 20% were secondary barrels.
