Medium

Screwcap

A rather shy nose at first, opening into a deeply layered and compelling, complex Cabernet. Blackcurrant and inky depths of blue fruit. A hint of musk stick candy and red salt, brine and bay, glossy violets and opulent florals tucked into charry and fragrant oak, spice, liquorice stick and aniseed. There’s an understated opulence here, seductive and velvety like a late-night jazz club, complete with smoky backlit corners. Incredible concentration and fruit intensity on the palate. Savoury and gravelly, with plentiful firm tannins for the long haul. Acidity is seamless, taut, lifted and breezy. A Cabernet with a long life ahead. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon from a single site of Houghton clone vines planted in 1999, with 5% Malbec. Fermented in concrete with native yeasts, gentle extraction over three weeks on skins. Pressed to French oak barriques, 40% new, and matured for 14 months prior to bottling.
