Youthful aromatic of tomato, cassis, mulberry and light leafiness. Full to medium bodied in style with ripe fruits with a varietal lift and young tannin on the palate. A rich palate showcases fruit and a crisp acid finish.
The 2013 vintage was exceptional in our vineyards with low yields and even ripening. Our grapes are sourced from our vineyards in the Adelaide wine region, with this wine using Langhorne Creek, Currency Creek and McLaren Vale. This wine blends Langhorne and Currency Creeks. A mixture of vinification techniques, touched by tradition, are used to capture each vineyard's character. Harvested ripe with good acidity then vinified in pump over style fermenters then matured in a mixture of oak and tanks. Crafted to be fresh and lively this Cabernet Sauvignon shows all the highlights of the grape and the places it is grown.

"Heft, grunt, guts; whatever you want to call it, this has it. Blackberry and clove flavours pour it on, complete with meaty, brackeny tannin. Perfect accompaniment to char-grilled meats. Value too."
