Through focused canopy management, including leaf removal and multiple passes of green harvesting, the remaining fruit was carefully concentrated to capture the varietal character of this estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes underwent an extended cold soak followed by gentle maceration to extract depth and complexity while preserving elegance and avoiding harsh tannins. With the natural acidity and structure of the vintage in mind, the wine was aged for four years in seasoned French oak barrels, allowing the fruit, oak and tannins to gradually integrate into a harmonious expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby in colour, this Cabernet Sauvignon reveals aromas of black currant, dark cherry, and wild blackberry, complemented by notes of cedar, graphite, and dark chocolate. The palate is elegant and savoury, with layers of dark fruit, refined acidity and firm yet polished tannins. A structured, graceful finish carries lingering notes of spice and earth. Enjoy now for its vibrant freshness or cellar for up to eight years as it continues to soften and develop further complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair It With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grilled steak, braised short ribs, aged cheddar, roasted root vegetables and wild mushroom dishes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlcohol by Volume\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.3%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Reducing Sugars:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.1 g\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrix Level: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e22.0°\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVineyard: \u003c\/strong\u003eNeufeld Farm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGold – National Wine Awards of Canada 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSilver – Ontario Wine Awards 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSilver – All Canadian Wine Championship 2026\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palatine Hills Estate Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48587174740193,"sku":"A-RED-21-CBS-O-SB","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0498\/0470\/5951\/files\/Edited_Bottle_Shots_3_b6d70f1f-e553-452a-86ca-ce31c25f9414.png?v=1786544319","url":"https:\/\/www.palatinehillsestatewinery.com\/products\/2021-overtime-cabernet-sauvignon","provider":"Palatine Hills Estate Winery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
