Outstanding regional expression Cabernet led by a trailblazing winemaker.
This Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the craftsmanship of a pioneering female winemaker who is making her own mark on one of Australia’s oldest wine dynasties. The Barossa is renowned for producing some of the most complex and full bodied Cabernets, and this wine captures the essence of the region’s premium fruit. With its round, opulent character, it reflects both the traditional richness of Barossa reds and the modern touch of the visionary winemaker at its helm.
A bold and opulent Cabernet Sauvignon that reflects the depth of the Barossa region.
Colour: Deep, opaque maroon.
Nose: Generous notes of black fruits, herbs, and dark chocolate.
Palate: Lively and fresh, with layers of blackberries, blackcurrants, cassis and dried herbs, followed by well-integrated fine, polished tannins on the long finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty casseroles, or rich, aged cheeses. Designed to impress today or evolve beautifully with cellaring until 2038.
93 points Ken Gargett, Winepilot, August 2024.
"Delicious warm climate Cab, proving such a thing is most definitely possible. The colour here is a deep maroon. There is the merest flick of oak still evident on the nose, adding to the many components contributing to the complexity of the wine. A fleshy style, there are notes of roast meats, raspberries, cranberries, leather and dried herbs. The wine has a pleasing supple texture and impressive length with good focus, sleek tannins and we see more notes of strawberries emerge on the palate. This will provide excellent drinking, full of flavour, over the next six to ten months."
91 points Sam Kim, WineOrbit, May 2024.
"Attractively ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, dried herb, clove and roasted nut aromas, followed by a fruit-expressive palate offering plump mouthfeel backed by fine grained tannins, offering excellent drinking. At its best: now to 2031."
