The 2022 growing season began with ideal weather conditions that culminated in an extended heat spell in late summer. The hot temperatures accelerated fruit ripening and reduced yields but overall the fruit quality was outstanding.
Consistent with Lancaster Estate’s commitment to making wines of authenticity and place, all of our wines are estate grown, produced and bottled. Native yeasts are used for primary fermentation while secondary malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in barrel.
To preserve the truest expression of our estate, the Lancaster Estate 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon was gently fined and then bottled unfiltered.
