Black and blue fruits on the nose, lovely classy oak mixed in amongst it all, with blackberry and blackcurrant on the palate with great length and texture and a fine tannin structure. A delicious Cabernet with super varietal characteristics. McLaren Vale Cabernet, the quiet achiever.

Winemaking
We have made this wine in pretty much the same way we have made previous vintages! This makes us sound like we have no imagination whatsoever. We pick when the grapes (and pips and tannins) are ripe, before crushing and fermenting in open tanks. The grapes are then transferred into oak barrels to finish ferment, with some racking and returning (pumping the wine out of the barrel and then back in) before maturing in the oak cask and then bottling. We use mainly older oak, with some new French hogsheads (300L) as well. We blend back a small Cabernet component from the White Boar (the grapes were cordon cut and vine dried) prior to bottling. I think the key to this wine IS not using one’s imagination – why change things when they are going so well? Keep the course steady, captain!
