LongviewDevil's Elbow Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
About this product
The Devil’s Elbow hairpin bend on the old Adelaide freeway is memorable for its unexpected shift in direction. Our Cabernet echoes that experience, as this wine is a rarity in the Adelaide Hills. The variety is seldom planted but Longview’s location and unique micro-climate allows the fruit to enjoy a long ripening period. Classic Cabernet, the wine is restrained, medium bodied, with a palate of wild cherries, capsicum and fresh herbs. Firm and persistent tannins balance these flavours and provide a lengthy finish.

Medium bodied red wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often medium in colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
