Overview

Overview

The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was first made in 1992 and in most years is sourced from Coldstream Hills G Block. A later maturing variety, Cabernet Sauvignon requires careful site selection with north facing hillside slopes being preferred. This wine is made using traditional techniques, with a portion staying on skins for extended maceration. Upon completion of fermentation, the wine is matured in new and used French oak barrels. Silky and concentrated, this wine displays the essence of cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon and will reward careful cellaring for at least fifteen years.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Attractive blackberry, dark cherry and cassis with underlying cedary oak, nutmeg spice and dark chocolate.

Flavours and Palate

Medium bodied and beautifully framed with blackberry and dark cherry notes at the fore. Fine-grained French oak is seamless and complements the wine’s silky chalky tannin finish. An excellent vintage.

Yarra Valley, Victoria

Cooler than Bordeaux yet warmer than Burgundy, picturesque Yarra Valley is one of Australia's foremost cool-climate wine regions. An easy one-hour’s drive from Melbourne, the area is home to more than 80 cellar doors. In addition to the huge range of wineries, the area boasts superb contemporary restaurants, authentic rustic farms - and luxury overnight accommodation if the sightseeing gets too much! The fertile Yarra Valley soils produce famously elegant and textured Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS

A cold wet start to the growing season proved challenging in the vineyards with fruit set and ultimately yields lower than average. Summer began with high humidity, but during the ripening period became stable and dry. The onset of flavour development occurred relatively rapidly with fine acidity retained across all varieties.
