Winemaking Notes
After hand-picking, the grapes were destemmed prior to fermentation into open top vessels and carefully managed through twice daily pump overs for 10 days. After pressing, the wines were allowed to mature in a mix of new (15%) and seasoned French oak barriques for 19 months prior to blending. Further time in bottle has allowed the wine to develop greater depth and complexity that will only continue as time goes on.
Tasting Notes
“This 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is refined with beautiful purity of lifted cassis and slate aromas. Typically Eden Valley in a compact, dry and firm package, with a dense tannic frame which then delivers a long, drying and savoury finish.”
Angus Hughson, The Vintage Journal
Reviews
“This wine is robust and intriguingly complex, featuring aromas of cassis, sweet cherry, cedar, cigar, and subtle spices on the nose. On the palate, it offers outstanding weight and richness, beautifully complemented by a refined texture and well-integrated tannins. It is firm and engaging, yet remains elegant and harmonious, with an impressively long and structured finish. At its best: now to 2041“
