Tasting Notes
Aroma
Lifted notes of blackcurrant, cherry, clove and roasted spice, supported by hints of cola, dark chocolate, vanilla pod, and a whisper of cured meats. A seductive bouquet that unfurls in layers.
Maturation
12 months in a mix of French oak hogsheads and puncheons with 10-15% new oak.
Appearance
Deep purple with a flicker of ruby around the edge.
Palate
The palate opens with classical Cabernet structure before relaxing into that regional generosity we love. A core of blackberry, red and blackcurrant, cassis and dark plum drives the wine forward, wrapped in broad, appealing tannins that are plush yet purposeful.Asian spice, incense and floral highlights bring energy, while the finish is smooth, persistent, and dangerously easy to drink. Immediate pleasure, with the promise of more to come over the following years.
Vinification
The parcels of fruit making up this wine were crushed into and fermented in open top vessels, with pump overs (three daily over peak fermentation) to extract colour, flavour and tannins. The batches were then drained, pressed to tank and then racked to barrel for oak maturation.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 McLaren Vale vintage was one that rewarded patience and nerve. A dry lead-up and a mild summer delayed flavour development, with very few days over 35°C until a short, hot burst in early March. This late-season warmth finally pushed Cabernet into perfect ripeness, delivering small berries, excellent colour, and beautifully concentrated flavour while retaining hallmark regional freshness. McLaren Vale Cabernet excelled in 2024, ripe berry fruit, lifted aromatics, and supple tannins that reflect one of the region’s most balanced seasons in recent years.
