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.

5 Stars & 93 Points “Richly fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows blackberry, clove, rich floral, and cedar characters with a hint of dark chocolate. It's succulent and wonderfully weighted in the mouth, delivering fleshy texture, backed by layers of polished tannins, finishing velvety and flavoursome”.  Sam Kim
