Winemaking Notes
John’s Blend Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 No.45 is hand-crafted by John Glaetzer, one of Australia’s most respected winemakers with over 30 years of experience producing fine wine for some of Australia’s top producers. Small batches of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the alluvial soils of Langhorne Creek are crushed, fermented, pressed and blended into oak hogsheads for maturation. This meticulous small batch approach ensures exceptional quality and consistency, producing a select, super premium label with limited production. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon of outstanding richness and depth, with the chocolate and mint character typical of Langhorne Creek, rich oak maturation and a soft tannin finish that reflects the region’s unique terroir and John Glaetzer’s uncompromising pursuit of excellence.
Vintage Conditions
Langhorne Creek is one of South Australia’s most celebrated red wine regions, situated on the Fleurieu Peninsula and cooled by Lake Alexandrina and the Southern Ocean. The region’s deep alluvial soils — deposited over centuries by the Bremer River — are renowned for producing Cabernet Sauvignon of exceptional richness, depth and the signature chocolate and mint character that defines the region’s finest reds. John’s Blend sources small batches of fruit from these prized alluvial soils, capitalising on Langhorne Creek’s warm days and cool nights to produce Cabernet Sauvignon of outstanding concentration and complexity. The 2020 vintage delivered the warm, consistent conditions that Langhorne Creek Cabernet thrives in, producing fruit of exceptional richness and intensity with youthful berry fruit character, rich chocolate and mint, and the soft tannin structure that makes John’s Blend No.45 a wine of genuine cellar-worthy quality.
