Renegade Winery 'Lynne' 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon

'Lynne' 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon

Grapes from Penedés, Spain

Wine fully made in London, UK.

What's the wine like?

A medium to full bodied red wine that was aged in barrels for 24 months. Integrated and smooth tannins in the mouth with a rich blackcurrant and blackberry flavour completed by nuts and pepper notes. Nice and warm, great with food but also lovely to be enjoyed on her own.

So how was Lynne made?

This wine was fermented in 2 batches. Both destemmed and put in separate stainless steel tanks where part of the juice was bled off with a technique called “Saignée” which can concentrate the flavour of the wine. One tank was fermented wild and the other with a selected yeast strain to add complexity. Temperatures were kept between 28 and 30 degrees during fermentation. The wine was then left for longer on the skins to increase richness. It was pressed off and aged in a combination of new and old French oak barrels for up to 24 months before being lightly filtered and bottled.

Who is Lynne?

Lynne was 72 when we made the wine and she is a retired woman who describes herself as a diva from the Royal town of Sutton Coldfield.
