This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is purple in colour with lively aromas of dark chocolate, blackberry, vanilla and cedar. The palate is rich and full with black and red berry fruit dominating the front palate with hints of vanilla accompanying the ripe and firm tannins on the long finish. This bold style Cabernet is drinking well now, however with careful cellaring, this wine will develop further characters for up to 15 years.

A portion of the fruit comes from the Cameron Vale vineyard, which was planted between 1971 and 1975 in a fertile area between Lyndoch and Williamstown. The remaining fruit was sourced from other premium vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valley.

After crushing and de-stemming, the fruit was fermented on skins to extract the colour and flavour. The process has allowed maximum flavour and tannin extraction, and added structure and texture to this wine. Post fermentation, parcels of the wine were transferred to a combination of new and old French oak for 21 months before being bottled.

Food Pairing: The rich, complex and supple characters of this wine are a delicious match to roast lamb, lamb chops or braised beef.
