Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"A complex aroma of cassis, berry fruits and liquorice. Sweet, rounded flavours of blackberry and currants, mocha and savoury thyme that delivers great length to the palate. An exquisitely balanced Cabernet that has a lifted, floral bouquet showing lovely delicacy but also depth and power.
Grown on our Bride Pa loam soil, 100% clone LC10 Cabernet planted in 2013. Vines were pruned to lower bud numbers, and no manual labour is spared in the vineyard. Shoot thinning, shoot positioning, lateral and bunch thinning are just a few of the passes we make through the vineyard. Seasonal adjustments are made in yields to guarantee excellent fruit ripeness and concentration. Physiological ripeness is the main criteria determining harvest date. Grown using organic practices this is an in transition to certified organic wine."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2025 (2021 Vintage)
"Great colour and appearance. There’s no mistaking the bouquet of cabernet with this wine, scents of blackberry and blackcurrant then tobacco leaf, wood and earth-smoke of stone and clay. A dry wine with a firm youthful texture from tannins and acidity. Taut and poised, still developing with a decent palate squeeze. Well made and quite lengthy with best drinking from 2028 through 2034+."
92/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, June 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"Rosy, savoury, Italianate, bitter almond, dried flowers, soft and ferrous tannin, salted pistachio, thyme and cherry, dry and nutty, blood orange and so distinctive. Lovely stuff."
