About the wine
Single site selection at its finest
Top rate single vineyard fruit was open fermented, gently basket pressed then aged in French oak for almost 2 years to make this stunning Cabernet.
Each delightful mouthful is packed with cherries, blackcurrants and blueberries, elegant spice from the oak and leaves a smooth, rounded finish. The grip of drought in 2019 reduced the grape volumes but pushed the flavours into overdrive.
- Treated with kid gloves once in the winery, this sensuous red will truly bowl you over. One sip will reveal why Stuey won the title 2020 Barossa Winemaker of the Year!
Best before
Will cellar comfortably for the next 5 - 10 years easily, if you want it to.
Serving advice
Open, decant and allow to breathe - as all good red wine should be allowed to - in order to show it's full potential.
Food match
Home made pizza, slow cooked lamb racks and strong cheeses.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Stuart Bourne
- Why did Stuart go down the wild winemaking path? To be able to drink his homework of course! Working right alongside three of his closest mates is the cherry on the top of this winemaking guru's story so far.
- He was originally a graduate in both Anatomy and Pharmacology. Since winemaking combines every discipline of Science, it appeals to the geek within. He loves tasting his experiments and now has 20 Australian vintages under his belt!
- For Stuart, it is the local growing families that continue to be the beating heart of the Barossa's world famous brilliance generation after generation. His passion for the Barossa has led to plenty of career highlights, like making it into the Top 100 Wines of the World in The Wine Spectator. Having a wine that he made served to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II also wasn't a bad day at the office!
