A big juicy nicely made wine from one of the Big Boys for the export market and meant to really excite the European drinker into a frenzy at this price for this amazing quality.
The wine displays a deep red colour with youthful purple hues. Intense typical Cabernet blackcurrant flavours with some green bean, licorice and mint. Rich, full bodied and has a good tannin back bone with the oak providing complexity and
flavour length. Tannins are medium / soft and the wine is big bodied and unoaked really displaying terrific fruit depth and length. There is a lifted clean fresh fruit finish that provides structure and form to the overall wine.
As Goldilocks mentioned in passing ...."Just right!'
Sourced from a selection of Australian vineyards the winemaker has selected parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit showing exceptional depth and intensity of flavour that without the aid of oak maturation will show exceptional flavour and drinkability.
The grapes were harvested during the cool of night at optimum ripeness. After crushing and pressing, after fermentation temperatures were carefully controlled at around 20-28°C in stainless steel vessels. The wine was then allowed to settle before individual parcels were blended and bottled.
