COLOUR  Garnet with a ruby hue. 

NOSE  Lifted blueberry, sweet spice and a hint of violets.

PALATE   Black currant, savoury spice and subtle herbal nuances are guided by elegant tannins and a soft acidity to a fruit-driven finish.

WINEMAKING   Fruit was harvested when flavour, tannin and acid were all in balance. Fruit was fermented to retain fruit freshness and juicy flavours, natural tannins supported by French oak influence and a fresh acidity which come together to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon for short term cellaring or immediate drinkability. 

VINTAGE NOTES  Cooler than average vintage temperatures combined with vigorous vineyard management yielded fruit with exceptional natural acidity and balanced varietal characters. Yields were low across the board. The results have been punchy aromatic whites, fine natural acidity, spicy Shiraz and more elegant Cabernets.
