About the wine
A wine of grace, elegance and fruit purity
- Sourced from a vineyard at the foot of the Barossa’s eastern slopes, this wine is a one-off, created during exceptional conditions of the 2021 vintage and may never be produced again.
- Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grapes were fermented together and matured in seasoned, spicy French oak for 17 months. Caroline’s uncomplicated winemaking approach has allowed the characters of both varieties to shine.
- This is a rich, complex wine with flavours of blackcurrant and pomegranate, violets and wild herbs. Smooth and textural, with fine tannins and a lingering dark fruit finish.
Best before
This bright, lively wine features plenty of plush fruit and a smooth, supple palate on release. However, if you prefer a little more age to your wines, with careful short to medium-term cellaring it will develop further subtle complexity.
Serving advice
While not essential to this wineÂ’s enjoyment, allowing it to breathe for 30 minutes before drinking will more fully express its natural character. Serve at room temperature, or in warm weather allow to chill for 20-30 minutes in the fridge.
Food match
Slow roasted shoulder of saltbush lamb with rosemary and mint sauce, chargrilled merguez sausages, or beetroot and red onion tarte tatin.
Contains sulphites
