Description

Cabernet Sauvignon has long been recognised as an excellent, consistent variety that performs well in the Clare Valley. The addition of Malbec adds to the complexity of the mid-palate contributing violet, mulberry, added texture and richness. The result is a full-bodied wine with generous chalky tannins. The 2018 vintage was warm and dry throughout the ripening period, providing the great conditions for rich varietal fruit flavours and firm textural tannins. Twenty-four months in French oak provides toasty complexity, depth and balance to our house style which is dominated by juicy black plum, fresh blackcurrant and blackberry aromas and flavours with a hint of herbal spice.

Feel content cellaring our Cabernet Malbec for at least ten years in good conditions. We recommend decanting a few hours before enjoying. The wine has not been cold stabilised, so a harmless crust may form with time.
