PERTARINGA UNDERSTUDY CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2019

No second fiddle, the Understudy is a stylistic contrast to our Rifle & Hunt Cabernet. The 2019 growing season started with mild weather and below-average rainfall. Some late spring rain provided a bit of relief from the dry conditions. A heatwave in January was luckily too early in the ripening cycle to cause any damage to the fruit. This was followed by a very mild and dry finish to the vintage, allowing good hang time and flavour development to the smaller than average crop.
