Contrary to popular belief, of Cabernet Sauvignon being a classical, structured and well-mannered wine, our wonderful McLaren Vale Mediterranean climate allows our Cabernet Sauvignon to be rich, brooding and powerful, underpinned by boundless energy.
10% new Taransaud French Oak hogsheads. Remainder in one to seven year old French oak hogsheads.
It shows a striking bouquet of dried herb, cherry, mint, bay leaf, cinnamon, plum, dark chocolate and green leafy aromas
The palate is concentrated with a lovely mulberry and blackcurrant presence, The fruit is seamless and is inter woven beautifully with the dense and broad tannins, that slowly reverberate along the palate, there is a rich chewiness here that I really enjoy. I love that this wine is so varietal and is Cabernet Sauvignon from start to finish, drying slowly on the finish but with just enough fruit to carry the structure and weight. With air the tannins become more stony and mineral which helps to flesh the wine out.
