Great depth, medium dark crimson. Powerful and rich with some ruggedness on the nose. Strong Cabernet traits, black coffee, dark mint chocolate and earthy notes. As the wine breathes In the glass Barossa Shiraz shines through with aromas of plum, dark cherry and spice. PALATE Vibrant and complex. Cabernet notes continue on the palate with dark mint chocolate, berries and rich black coffee. Thick and luxurious providing lovely dark cherry and spice with a smooth as cream finish.
Only the second release of this wine. The cooler vintage in 2017 suited Barossa floor Cabernet well and this is reflected in the wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon portion of this wine could stand alone but the wine came alive once the Shiraz was blended in’, Craig Stansborough, Chief Winemaker. Peak Drinking 2020 - 2040 Food Pairing Roasted red meats and rich chocolate desserts.

"Deep red colour with a good purple tinge. The bouquet showcases assorted red fruits with notes of rose-petals and raspberry. Oak is very much under control, which is very pleasing. It's intense, full-bodied, firm and fresh in the mouth, with great poise and persistence. The cabernet and shiraz components are perceptible but combine seamlessly. An impressive new arrow in this producer's quiver."

"A blend of selected barrels, the 2017 Nebu Cabernet Shiraz is only the second vintage for this cuvée, which matured in 18% new French oak hogsheads, with the rest from one to five years old. It comes across as being a bit oaky, with bold vanilla and baking-spice aromas on the nose. In the mouth, there's a fine balance between Cabernet's fragrance and length with Shiraz's roundness on the mid-palate. The softly dusty tannins on the finish suggest holding for a year or two, then drinking over the next decade or so."

"A 61/39% blend, crushed and destemmed, 6-8 days on skins, matured in French barriques for 18 months. A firm, full-bodied cabernet with savoury/green olive flavours. "
