Our most awarded Aussie Cabernet has a new vintage.

Multi golds previously make for some impressive pedigree.  Unfortunately the hype is not followed by joyous volumes.  We have our allocation in store so make the most quickly.

A delicious Cabernet full of blackberry, thyme and chocolate with cedar notes. It is impressively concentrated and plush, and delivers excellent fruit power and rich dark fruit intensity, wonderfully enhanced by velvety mouthfeel and a long succulent finish.

"To increase volumes for the 2023 vintage, an opportunity to source some ‘A Grade’ fruit that had been previously going to Penfolds arose. This vineyard is 55 years old and located on McMurtrie Rd just south of the township of McLaren Vale. It makes up 50% of the blend with the other half coming from our own vineyard on the estate.

Lifted aromas of red and black fruits, subtle perfume and wood spice. Flavours of blackberry plum and cassis. Nice perfume which is a hallmark of the vintage. Some earth and a little spice. Medium to full bodied, plush through the palate with fine grained tannins and a subtle wood spice finish.

Destemmed only. 10 day open ferment with regular pump overs. Basket pressed. 14 months in French and American oak (25% new). Bottled without fining in June 2024." Winery notes (2023 Vintage)

"This is immediately appealing on the nose, showing blackcurrant, sweet cherry, rich floral, subtle tobacco and cedar aromas. The palate is equally enticing with succulent fruit intensity combined with fine texture and chalky tannins, making it sturdy and supple at the same time with a sustained, delectable finish." 5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2024 (2023 Vintage)
