BendbrookSL Adelaide Hills Cabernet Sauvignon
About this product
By the Bend of a Brook is a vineyard planted to produce single block wines, where just about everything from the pruning, weeding & picking is done by the sweat of manual labour and a barking Kelpie. Only this fruit is in the SL Cab Sav.
A lighter, fresher style of Cabernet,hand-picked with subtle oak. The wine was made in the Mediterranean style for casual, easy drinking. At a vineyard altitude of 400 metres above sea level the Adelaide Hills allows grapes to develop to full ripeness while retaining fresh cool-climate acidity and elegance.

Reflects the elegance of '17 to a surprising degree, and without any mint or green notes ex the cool, slow ripening vintage. It was matured in used French oak for 6 months, and once again surprised. The colour is bright and full, the varietal character pure, the tannins a point. Fully deserved its trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon at the Adelaide Hills Wine Show '18.
