VARIETAL: Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz REGION: South Australia
VINTAGE: 2021. Good spring rainfall filled soil profiles and encouraged even budburst and the establishment of healthy canopies. Perfect November weather during flowering delivered good set and even development of bunches. Ripening conditions were cool to mild without any heat spikes allowing for slow even development of flavours with bright acid retention. A great vintage for Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz
Winemaker’s Notes
A classic Australian blend of Cabernet sauvignon 52% and Shiraz 48%. Matured with a mix of French and American oak. The Cabernet provides elegance to the blend and Shiraz adds fruit depth and a velvety richness to the palate. Premium parcels have been selected from renowned wine regions across South Australia including Wrattonbully , Barossa, Coonawarra, Langhorne Creek and McLaren Vale each bringing their own signature mark to the blend.
