Pertaringa Rifle & Hunt Cabernet Sauvignon

Pertaringa Rifle & Hunt Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 is a powerful yet polished McLaren Vale Cabernet from Bec Hardy Wines, named for the vineyard’s position at the corner of Rifle Range and Hunt Roads. It combines deep, expressive fruit with the savoury graphite and cedar complexity that makes serious Australian Cabernet so compelling.

Ripe blackcurrant, cassis and dark cherry flood the nose, layered with tobacco leaf, black olive, dried sage, graphite and earthy spice. The Pertaringa Rifle & Hunt Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 is concentrated and beautifully balanced, with dark chocolate and subtle French oak through the mid-palate. Firm, silky tannins and bright acidity give it a long, deeply satisfying finish.

Bring this McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon to a flame-grilled rib-eye, herb-crusted lamb rack, slow-cooked beef cheeks or a mushroom and black truffle pie. Decanting will soften the youthful structure and draw out its savoury detail. This is a serious, richly flavoured red that drinks superbly now and has the poise to reward careful cellaring.
