What makes Cumulus high elevation wines so special?
Put simply, compared to warm regions, Cumulus get half the volume of grapes from each vine, but twice the intensity of flavour.
High elevation, cool climate wines are medium-bodied. The fruit flavours are more forward, which makes Cumulus wines crisp, bright and vibrant. They have a higher acid than most wines, which is the key to making wine and food work in perfect harmony.
By contrast, you've probably tasted big, warm-climate wines from other regions that are jammy, ripe and full of oak. Great wines, but almost a meal in themselves. Their strength can often overwhelm your food.
Cumulus Estate wines are more elegant, less oak, less tannin, and a lot more finesse when you're enjoying a meal.
