St HugoVetus Purum Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
About this product
The ultimate expression of power and elegance, made only in the finest vintages. The nose is intense and multi-faceted. Notes of blackcurrant and cedar are interwoven into a sophisticated expression that constantly intrigues. Harmony and balance are immediately apparent in this elegant, medium to full-bodied wine. The palate is assertive yet refined, with concentrated flavours of blackcurrant, berry and olive supported by subtle cedar spice from the oak. This is a premium Cabernet Sauvignon reflecting the unique terroir and pristine environment of the Coonawarra.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Made in tiny quantities...the packaging is at a level only previously seen with top end Special Bin Penfolds reds. Hand-picked from the Willandra Vineyard in the Barossa Valley, it is an outstanding wine, still amazingly youthful, with a cascade of plum, blackberry, licorice and multi-spice flavours on the very long, superbly balanced and focused palate. It spent 24 months in a mix of new and used oak, now totally integrated.
