Description
WINEMAKER: Belinda Thomson
REGION: Henty, VIC
VARIETAL: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
VITICULTURE: Organic
75/25 Cabernet Sauvignon/Franc. Destemmed only. 5-7 days cold soak on skins prior to natural fermentation in open fermenters. Hand plunged during moderate temperature fermentation. Pressed when dry and settled in tank for around 4 weeks before barrelling down. 12 months in 100% French Oak, <10% new. No acid addition. Not cold stabilised. Not fined. Bottled October 2019.
Beautiful lifted, spiced blue fruits and baked red fruit are the primary forces here. Edges of liquorice and spice couple with dried herbs, bay and hints of blackberry leaf to create a lovely layered, complex palate. The tannins are soft and fine and interlaced throughout the long palate. This wine was matured in mostly old French oak creating a very fragrant, delicious wine from the fine flavoured grapes of the 2019 season.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
