Tasting Notes
Textbook, medium bodied Cabernet. Blackcurrant, poached plum and cassis are followed by hints of cranberry, cherry pip and a light leafiness. The palate is soft, dense and concentrated with a web of filigreed tannin encasing the black fruits and cedar. Bright acidity helps to balance the wine between savoury and sweet, but with a lip smacking and refreshing finish. Classic cool-climate Cabernet.
Vineyard Notes
This wine was sourced from the north-facing Hyde Park vineyard sited in the grey alluvial loams of Coldstream.
Winemaker's Notes
A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine – fermentation on skins with twice daily pump-overs for four weeks followed by a 15-month maturation in 225 litre French oak barrels.
Vintage Notes
A cool, long vintage with abundant rainfall and very low cropping levels has resulted in wines outstanding varietal flavour.
