Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A richly layered palate of dark berry fruits with well integrated oak maturation flavours of cedar, dark chocolate and spice. A long, lingering finish with soft, fine grained tannins.
Vineyard Notes
Slightly early vintage. Warm, dry conditions and cool nights throughout the growing season produced outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon fruit with intense colour, powerful flavours and excellent regional expression.
Production Notes
Thirty percent of the final blend spent an average of 17 months maturing in predominantly older French oak, adding complexity and suppleness.
Food Pairing Notes
Beef Wellington with duck fat potatoes, slow cooked lamb shanks or gnocchi.
Other Notes
Will age gracefully for 15 years.
