TWO HANDS SEXY BEAST CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2024

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Sexy Beast, a succulent and luscious McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon. We were always taught that Cabernet Sauvignon was a classical, structured and well mannered wine, but in our wonderful McLaren Vale Mediterranean climate we make it rich, brooding and powerful, underpinned by boundless energy. We call it our Sexy Beast, inspired by the cult classic movie starring Sir Ben Kingsley..

Lifted notes of blackcurrant, cherry, clove and roasted spice, supported by hints of cola, dark chocolate, vanilla pod, and a whisper of cured meats. A seductive bouquet that unfurls in layers. The palate opens with classical Cabernet structure before relaxing into that regional generosity we love. A core of blackberry, red and blackcurrant, cassis and dark plum drives the wine forward, wrapped in broad, appealing tannins that are plush yet purposeful.Asian spice, incense and floral highlights bring energy, while the finish is smooth, persistent, and dangerously easy to drink. Immediate pleasure, with the promise of more to come over the following years.

The parcels of fruit making up this wine were crushed into and fermented in open top vessels, with pump overs (three daily over peak fermentation) to extract colour, flavour and tannins. The batches were then drained, pressed to tank and then racked to barrel for oak maturation. 12 months in a mix of French oak hogsheads and puncheons with 10-15% new oak."
