Background
An early vintage coupled with great ripening conditions resulted in generous wines from the Barossa Valley in 2015. Cabernet Sauvignon was a standout red variety this vintage, with loads of body and fruit flavour but keeping varietal characteristics such as herbal mint and leafy notes that Cabernet is famous for. The fruit was picked in the cool of the night and fermented in open fermenters with daily pump overs and several drain downs. It has spent 24 months in small barrique barrels maturing in the cellar. The small format oak accentuates the savory tobacco and toast characters in the wine, which adds to its marvellous complexity.
