Winemakers Comments

Ive been banging away at Cabernet for a good 10 years now and never felt the desire to bottle one. It can be a wonderful blending tool in the Barossa. As time passed and my Vineyard Monopoly game improved I felt it was time to put a cabernet blend together for bottling. In 2022 I started working with a 1950 planted vineyard on the white wind-blown sands of Ebenezer. There was a wonderful history of wine coming from the vineyard and I knew given time we can create something wonderful. We also procured access to very small, tonne parcels of old vine merlot, cabernet franc, malbec and petit verdot to use as blending partners. In time we hope to produce one of the great cabernets of the Barossa.

    A blend of 85% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot, 5% cabernet franc, 3% malbec and 2% petit verdot from across the subregions of Ebenezer, Nuriootpa and Flaxman Valley. Ripe blackberry and black cherry fruits with hints of cinnamon, clove, tobacco, olive tapenade, sage, cedar and cassis. An inflow of blackcurrant pastille on the palate lifts things up a notch, the tannins are fine and powdery, and there is a cassis-like flow on the exit. Points: 93/100
