Cabernet Sauvignon, representing more than 90% of the blend, achieves exceptional expression of colour, richness and freshness on this site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1993 growing season began with a dry, mild winter and early budbreak. Warm conditions in spring accelerated vine growth before heavy rainfall increased disease pressure, requiring rigorous vineyard management throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest took place from 23 September to 9 October. Extensive fruit selection was required to remove grapes affected by grey rot, while careful vinification ensured the highest possible quality from a challenging vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Pauillac \/ Médoc \/ Bordeaux \/ France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClassification: 1er Grand Cru Classé\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon \u0026amp; Merlot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSweetness: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: Oaked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOak Type: French Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWinemaker: Hélène Genin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOwnership: Groupe Artémis S.A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest Date: 23 September – 9 October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Craft Republic Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51304020246843,"sku":"8813838614","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/ChateauLatourPauillac1993750ml.png?v=1780359894","url":"https:\/\/craftrepublic.com.au\/products\/1993-chateau-latour-750ml","provider":"Craft Republic Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
