About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonMargaret River, AustraliaLeeuwin Estate Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon is made up of the Houghton clone and a touch of malbec. Batch vinification is followed by maturation in new (50%) French oak and one-year-old “chateau” barrels for up to 24 months. In classic southern Margaret River style, this wine is typified by blackcurrant, cassis and tobacco leaf aromas, underlying savoury, new oak and muscular, fine tannin structures.

Deep, bright purple/red colour. The bouquet is also bold and bright, fresh and clean, with hi-fi chocolate and blackberry flavours, full body and powerful aftertaste. A big, bold, full-bodied cabernet with loads of panache. Muscular, concentrated, great tannins. It just needs time to mellow out a bit. Outstanding cabernet.
