Vineyard

Certified Organic Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from our family owned Nanya  Vineyard near Paringa, South Australia have been used to craft this wine. The deep red loam over limestone soils, ample sunshine, warm days and cool nights provide ideal conditions for nurturing flavour packed organic grapes. We view the vineyard as more than just the source of our grapes. It is a holistic system of interconnected organic prosperity. The vine is important, but it is the health of the entire environment that provides the best tasting grapes. At no stage during the grape growing and winemaking of Naturalis Organic wines have we used any synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilisers or inputs of any kind. Everything we use comes from nature, pure and clean. 

Winemaking

The grapes for this wine were harvested at night to make sure that they were as cool as possible, thus minimising any chance of spoilage. Crushed to both rotary and ‘sweeparm’ fermenters the grapes were then allowed to macerate for 2 days before inoculation and fermentation. Gently pressed off skins, leaving the hard pressings fraction behind, the soft wine then went through the second malolactic fermentation under controlled conditions. The wine was stored in seasoned French oak barrels until ready for blending. This inviting organic wine has then had minimal handling prior to filtration for bottling at our Certified Organic winery.
