Sorby AdamsArago Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2019
About this product
This collection honors our ancestor, John Couch Adams, who, along with fellow mathematicians, proved the existence of the planet Neptune in the 1840s.
His name is immortalized in one of Neptune's five rings.
Arago is ALSO one of those rings and represents our classic Australian blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
This wine boasts superb flavors, with notes of cumin, olive, and dark cocoa. It is multilayered, has finely grained vanillin oak, and finishes gracefully.
The wine has been matured in French oak hogsheads, with 30% of the barrels being new oak, for 30 months. Additionally, the barrels were air-dried for four years before use.
The blend consists of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon from Craneford in Eden Valley and 35% Shiraz from Ebenezer in Barossa Valley.
It can be enjoyed now and will continue to age well until 2038. The wine is sealed with QORK.

Addictive aromas of blackberry and vanillin oak lead the way with complex notes of dark chocolate, thyme and warm spice, it's richly flavoursome on the palate offering beautifully layered mouthfeel, brilliantly structured by silky tannins, finishing wonderfully long and opulent. It's superbly structured, making it sturdy and robust while remaining velvety and satisfying. At its best: now to 2035

Adams gets a little serious here with a wine that is made to his distinctive style requiring ripe fruit laced with oak, which in this case is 30 months of which 30% was new. But it never seems excessively oaky, thanks to the power and concentration of the fruit. Deep, dark and concentrated with lush flavours coating the palate and then heading off into the distance for a long finish.
