Regional Appellation: Plumpton, Vic. Australia (Sunbury G.I.)

Grape Varieties: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from our Plumpton Vineyard

Maturation: 12 Months in 1 and 2 year old French and American Oak

Alcohol: 14.5%

Cellaring Potential: Up to 3 years.

Growing Season: A cooler season resulted in an extended Autumn ripening period. Hand shoot positioning was undertaken to ensure that the fruit was exposed to as much sunshine as possible, resulting in fully ripe fruit with intense and complex flavours.

Winemaking: The grapes were crushed and destemmed into stainless steel fermenters with SO2 addition and inoculated with a proven clean fermenting yeast strain. Ferments were allowed to reach 300 C+ in order to extract maximum colour and flavour. MLF was allowed to occur naturally in the barrel.

Colour: Deep Red.

Nose: Blackberry and forest fruit aromas, complimented by subtle oak.

Palate: The medium bodied palate has sweet berry fruit and subtle oak flavours. Soft, ripe tannins give this wine excellent length and elegance.
