WHAT’S UP MEDOC
The culture of Bordeaux is shaped by its geography, history and economy. All three have played major roles in the development of its wine industry. The three major rivers of the area – Garonne, Gironde and Dordogne - have always provided access to ports and international trade, as well as being a moderating factor to the climate. Cabernet Sauvignon has been grown here for centuries, exported first to the British, and eventually to every major wine drinking market around the world.
The Bordelais have always been at the forefront of technological innovation in the art of winemaking, and the first French wine growing region to embrace export markets. The people behind the wine labels have always been forward-thinking and innovative, skilled and proud of their contribution to the proliferation of the love of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape internationally. When you enjoy Horizon de Lynch, take a moment and ponder both its origins and the profundity of French Cabernet Sauvignon and its’ global influence.
WINEMAKING PROCESS
Cabernet loves sunshine, so the Horizon de Lynch team spends long hours in the vineyard in the months leading up to harvest ensuring that every grape bunch has the exposure it needs to the nourishing rays of Bordeaux sunlight. This allows our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to ripen fully and evenly, and to produce a balanced wine.
