FROM THE WINERY...
THE TERROIR
At Acaibo , we practice sustainable and organic farming , and work closely with some biodynamic practices in order to preserve our land heritage and preserve the future. We strive for the balance between science and nature that allows our wines to reflect this unique terroir.
Harvest time has long been held by civilized societies as a sacred period in the calendar, the culmination of many long days and arduous efforts. Here at Acaibo, we hold this moment in similarly high-regard. We rise early, to carefully handpick the grapes in the cool nighttime and early morning temperatures to maintain freshness. They arrived at the nw winery, in a small container in a pristine conditions, uncrushed.The grapes are meticulousy sorted, berry by berry until untill we have the perfectly ripe and highest in quality.
We then gently crush the grapes to emancipate the sweet nectar within and pump the subsequent “must” into the waiting vats. Prior to fermentation,whole berries are cold soaked up to 5 days at cooler temperatures to extract colour, aromas and soft tannins.
We ferment Acaibo in stainless steel vats with a maceration period of one to two weeks. It is over this period that the juice is infused with all of its aromatic and phenolic greatness while taking on the rich color and delicate tannins of the skins. As the natural grape sugars slowly give way to alcohol, we stimulate contact by gently pumping the juice over the mass of skins that have formed a floating cap during the fermentation process.
Rated 93 by Wine Advocate
Made up of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot, the 2016 Trinite Estate Acaibo has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and violet, chocolate box, warm black cherries, cedar and warm blackcurrants on the nose with nuances of beef drippings, cast-iron pan, exotic spices and a classy frame of new oak spice—this is perfumed and minerally without lacking any fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it has a good core of flavor layers, with firm, gently chewy tannins, integrated freshness and a long finish.
