Current Vintage - 2005
Only
2000 bottles of single vineyard 2005 Hahn's Haus Cabernet Sauvignon were produced from a premium vineyard in the Dixon's Creek
region of the Cool Climate Yarra Valley. Three tonnes of hand-picked fruit
gave rise to seven 225 litre French oak barriques, which housed
the
wine for a total of 24 months during the maturation process.
Following bottling, the aging process continued, with a further nine months of bottle aging. The 2005 has now been released and is
available for
purchase.
Cabernet
Sauvignon is an extremely hardy variety and thrives in the climate
and
soils
of the Yarra Valley. The winemaking process is kept simple and is closely aligned with Old World winemaking methods. Hahn's Haus is
100%
Cabernet Sauvignon. The barrels used during maturation are seasoned French oak barriques. There
are no fining agents used in production. If necessary, natural grape
acid is added and minimal Sulfur Dioxide is used as a preservative. No
additional chemicals are added which results in a grounded and somewhat
earthy wine style which has strong varietal fruit expression.
