2022 Cabernet Blend, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Elegant and balanced with red and black currant, best enjoyed alongside hearty red meat dishes
A co-fermentation of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc, this blend was aged in smaller format oak barrels (70% new) to enhance texture, integrate tannins, and build aromatic depth. The result is a wine of structure and precision with remarkable ageing potential.
80% Cabernet Sauvignon & 20% Cabernet Franc
The 2022 growing season in the Yarra Valley was defined by a mild spring and a long, even ripening period, producing fruit with exceptional balance, fine tannins, and concentrated flavours. These ideal conditions allowed Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc to reach full maturity with outstanding structure and aromatic complexity.
A co-fermentation of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc, this blend was aged in smaller format oak barrels (70% new) to enhance texture, integrate tannins, and build aromatic depth. The result is a wine of structure and precision with remarkable ageing potential.
Sleek and medium to full-bodied, it shows intense layers of red and dark fruit, aromatic herbs, soft jalapeno spice and savory black olive notes. Fine, persistent tannins and focused acidity provide excellent drive and longevity.
Perfect for rosemary and garlic roast lamb, grilled portobello mushrooms and slow-braised beef cheek
