McLaren Vale, Australia
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonMcLaren Vale, AustraliaThe Apollonian theory of Greek mythology entwines two seemingly opposite philosophical elements of the gods and brothers Apollo and Dionysus to create a complete and complex entity. Order and chaos, purity and excess, harmony and passion. Entwined by nature they are at their best when together. The vineyard, the winemaker, the vintage and the moment create the experience. The Cabernet Sauvignon is from a 120 year old vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale. The ancient soils and elevation of the vineyard offer the perfect conditions for growing high quality Cabernet Sauvignon in small crops.

Indigo purple colour with a violet rim. Perfumed bouquet of balsamic flowers and sweet spices. Big and bold, rich in taste, tannin and alcohol. Flavours of wild plums, bay leaf and vanilla, generous tannin and sleek mouthfeel, with a finish that persists. To 2032.

A firm, strong, serious cabernet. Mint, blackcurrant, vanilla and chocolate flavours push persuasively through the palate but it’s the finish that really elevates it. Fine-grained tannin, excellent fruit power, more-or-less integrated/balanced oak and a sustained finish all point to a quality outcome. 2023-29.
