Style Notes :

  • Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Origin: Australia
  • Locality: South Australia

Tasting Notes :

Colour: Bright crimson with medium plum core. 

Nose: All the hallmarks of classic cabernet sauvignon are present and accounted for. First impressions are reminiscent of a stroll through the garden. Earthy, leafy notes prevail with dried native mint adding a lovely herbal note. Further investigation reveals cocoa powder, red currants and blood orange. Underlying cedar notes and cherry wood add further oak derived intrigue.

Palate: An abundance of delightful primary fruit characters with blueberries, strawberries and pomegranates competing for attention. French and American oak maturation characters add a pleasing creaminess and weight to the palate with a distinctive hazelnut signature. Firm tannins with length and drive are supported by a seam of refreshing acidity.
