Tasting Notes

Appearance

Deep ruby red with garnet hues, displaying the wine's concentration and maturity from 18 months of oak maturation.

Aroma

Classic Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics reveal blackcurrant and black cherry at the forefront, complemented by savoury notes of black olives, green capsicum and mint. Subtle vanilla and spice complexity emerge from the wine's time in French and American oak barrels, creating an inviting and layered bouquet.

Palate

Everything you want from a Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackcurrant and black cherry flavours dominate, with a warmth of black olives, green capsicum and mint adding complexity. The oak maturation has produced a silky palate with well-integrated tannins and excellent structure. Ready to drink now, but will mature well and produce one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons from this vineyard to date.

Pairs With

This versatile Adelaide Hills Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye steak, roast lamb, beef Wellington, aged cheddar, mushroom-based dishes, and herb-crusted rack of lamb, making it perfect for both special occasions and everyday dining.

Crafted from fruit grown on 23-year-old vines in a single vineyard block in Lobethal, this wine represents outstanding value from the Adelaide Hills.
