Deep, dark, rich red. Premium Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from some of South Australia's best vineyards have been selected to maintain this consistent style and quality. The wine has excellent structure and length, and while it is ready for drinking now, will gain further complexity over the next two to four years. The nose shows varietal, leafy Cabernet notes, touches of rhubarb, mint, clove and fresh tea leaf. Background aromas of cold meats gain a lift from cedary, balanced oak. Palate A tightly structured palate of red fruits –currants, cherries, and a mouth-watering crisp acidity leaves the palate wanting more. Obvious, up-front Cabernet tannins fill the palate with balanced, well integrated cedary oak adding to the finish.
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among climates ranging from Canada's Okanagan Valley to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley.
Cabernet Sauvignon became internationally recognized through its prominence in Bordeaux wines where it is often blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. From France, the grape spread across Europe and to the New World where it found new homes in places like California's Napa Valley, Australia's Coonawarra region and Chile's Maipo Valley. It was the world's most widely planted premium red wine grape until it was surpassed by Merlot in the 1990s. Read More...
