Lake Breeze Bullant Cabernet Merlot 2022 from Langhorne Creek showcases the exceptional quality of this renowned South Australian wine region. This expertly crafted blend combines the structure of Cabernet with Merlot's supple fruit character, aged for 15 months in oak to develop remarkable complexity.
Appearance
Deep ruby red with vibrant crimson hues, displaying excellent depth and clarity that signals the wine's concentration and quality.
Aroma
The nose opens with bold blackberry and dark cherry aromas, complemented by enticing hints of mocha and dark chocolate. Subtle notes of cedar and vanilla from oak ageing add layers of complexity, whilst a whisper of eucalyptus reflects the wine's Australian heritage.
Palate
Medium to full-bodied with a rich, smooth mouthfeel that glides across the palate. Ripe blackberry and plum flavours are beautifully integrated with mocha and spice notes. The 15 months of oak maturation provides structure without overwhelming the fruit, whilst polished tannins and balanced acidity lead to a delightfully soft, lingering finish.
Pairs With
This versatile red wine complements grilled steaks, lamb roasts, beef casseroles, and mature hard cheeses. It's equally enjoyable with barbecued meats or hearty pasta dishes with rich tomato-based sauces.
The 2022 Lake Breeze Bullant Cabernet Merlot is crafted from fruit sourced from carefully selected old vines in the renowned Langhorne Creek wine region.
This wine will develop beautifully over the next 5-6 years and pairs exceptionally well with roast lamb, creating a truly memorable dining experience.
The wine's name pays homage to the industrious bull ants that once inhabited the vineyard, a reminder of the dedication of our vineyard team who worked amongst the vines in this unique terroir.
