FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $250

This limited production single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon demonstrates our philosophy of selecting only the very best rows from the very best blocks on the property. Sourced from our Stevens Road vineyard, 3km down the road from the Xanadu winery in the Wallcliffe subregion, this wine offers a unique expression of the outstanding quality wine this special little vineyard is capable of producing. Limited to only 120 dozen (only 5 barrels produced).

The generous palate is full bodied and concentrated, with forest fruits, cocoa and cassis. The inky fruits are underpinned by dense tannins and a firm acid backbone culminating to a lingering Cabernet finish.

Winemaking Notes
This 2.5 tonne parcel of fruit was crushed/destemmed into a small static fermenter followed by a six- day ferment at 25°C, during which the cap was managed by regular aerative pump overs. The wine was gently pressed at approximately 2 Baume and finished fermentation and MLF in tank. Once dry, the wine was then racked to fine French oak barriques (40% new) and was matured in oak for 14 months prior to bottling without any fining.
