Mitchell’s Sevenhill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 from Clare Valley is a classic elegant expression crafted in traditional claret style from vines planted around the Mitchell homestead, a sentimental favourite that only improves with age. Leafy and cedary, the bouquet delivers mulberry, black olive and herbal notes alongside strong primary fruit with dusty new French oak aromas adding complexity. The full-flavoured palate shows cassis and blackcurrant with a dry mouthfeel and firm tannins through to the finish, impeccably structured with just the right balance of plush fruit richness and fine tannin.

This Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon pairs brilliantly with beef and venison where its firm tannins and rich fruit complement charred meats, while slow-roasted lamb allows the wine’s herbal complexity to shine through. The essential ingredients of fruit, oak, acidity and tannins are present in the right proportions, resulting in an elegant wine of great power.

Released with some bottle age, the Sevenhill Vineyard Cabernet 2019 showcases traditional winemaking from one of Clare Valley’s most historic sites. This rich and intense red wine delivers full-bodied character with aging potential, demonstrating why Mitchell’s Cabernet from this site remains a benchmark for the region.
