Winemaker’s Notes
Above average rainfall and lower than average temperatures posed some challenges for winemakers in 2011. However in amongst it all there were a couple of varieties which seemed to thrive in the atypical conditions. Small bunches and good air flow in our Cabernet blocks on the hills above Lyndoch and Rowland flat ensured clean fruit and much less disease pressure than some other varieties.
This coupled with the lack of significant hot spells which allowed Cabernet to ripen slowly, retain a strong varietal presence and fine lines and ensure that it was widely considered to be the pick of red varieties from the Barossa in 2011. As a result some pleasing results in the wines from the region.
Colour: Dark red garnet red.
Bouquet: Classic varietal Cabernet nose with plenty of ripe red and black berry fruit and hints of sandlewood and cedar.
Palate: A powerful but elegant palate with a vibrant, lifted varietal fruit profile showing black berries, dark plums and a hint of Morello cherry. The fruit is framed by classically structured tannins which have benefited from the slow ripening vintage and time in oak to contribute wonderful length, subtlety and ripeness. There is a final lift of fruit to perfectly balance the finish
Cellaring: Drink to 2020
Is it any good ?
