🍷 Appearance
Deep crimson to dark ruby in the glass with vibrant purple edges, indicating concentration and youthful intensity typical of Barossa Valley Cabernet.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Lifted aromas of blackcurrant, plum and blackberry lead the bouquet. Layers of cassis, graphite and capsicum add varietal Cabernet character, while hints of mint and cedar contribute aromatic complexity.
👅 Palate
Rich and expressive with flavours of ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum flowing across the palate. Subtle notes of cocoa, dried herbs and savoury spice add depth and complexity, supported by well-integrated oak.
⚖️ Structure
Medium-to-full bodied with fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. The wine shows a structured yet approachable style, with tannins that are fresh and vibrant while supporting the dark fruit intensity.
🔚 Finish
Long and refined with lingering cassis, dark berry fruit and subtle savoury spice, finishing with elegant structure and persistence.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon—bold yet polished. The wine combines rich dark fruit, savoury complexity and fine tannins, delivering both immediate appeal and excellent cellaring potential.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Ideal with grilled steak, roast lamb, venison, beef cheeks, mushroom dishes or aged cheddar.
