VINTAGE 2018

SOURCE 100% Padthaway

VARIETIES 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

ANALYSIS Alcohol 14.5%

AROMA Blackcurrant and blueberry, earthy spice and sweet tobacco all combine in a varietally expressive and fruit driven Cabernet.

PALATE The palate shows plenty of dark berry fruit along with background cedary spice from the oak and hints of cocoa. It has a lovely depth of flavour, is soft and round with a fine long tannin structure. VINEYARD Sourced from two sites, both on red loamy clay over limestone providing richness and structure to the wine and maintaining classic cabernet sauvignon characters, whilst some differences between the 2 sites provide complexity.

MATURATION Harvested when flavour ripe, and fermented on skins for a period of 5 days. The wine is matured for a period of around 12 months and a proportion was matured with French oak, but the majority was unoaked to allow the fruit to shine.
