Lake Breeze Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (Langhorne Creek)
Tasting Notes
The Lake Breeze Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 displays lifted aromatics of black fruits and violets, along with some cedary oak nuances.
It has a concentrated palate with a lovely silky texture, showing chocolate and cassis flavours and a wonderfully long finish.
With careful cellaring this wine will age superbly for at least the next 10 years.

The Lake Breeze winery lies on the banks of the Bremer River and is surrounded by majestic river red gums and overlooks the 90 hectare (225 acre) Follett family vineyard. The vineyards are managed by Tim Follett, whom Greg relies on to provide him with consistently outstanding fruit.
The varieties grown on the vineyard include cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and chardonnay, with smaller amounts of grenache, merlot, petit verdot, malbec and vermentino.
The Lake Breeze Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 uses fruit produced from 40 year old vines on the Follett family vineyard, situated on the Bremer Flood plain.
Traditional open fermentation was employed followed by maturation in French oak barriques for 20 months, prior to bottling. Winery Notes
