Presenting Barossa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – a wine that captures the essence and vibrancy of the world-renowned Barossa Valley. Highly expressive, wonderfully complex, and beautifully bold, this commanding wine style embodies the spirit of this celebrated wine region.
Our philosophy is centered around showcasing the distinctive elegance, finesse, and vibrant fruit flavors that the Barossa Valley is famous for. Nestled along the foothills, our vineyards thrive in the unique combination of ancient red friable clay soils and a warm, dry climate. This extraordinary environment allows our vines to produce fruit that is brimming with vibrancy and depth of flavor, unparalleled anywhere else on earth.
From the very beginning, our viticultural practices prioritize the sustainable health of the vine, resulting in moderated vine vigor and yield. This careful cultivation produces small berries bursting with intense flavors and distinctive varietal character.
The journey to crafting our exceptional Barossa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon begins with handpicking the grapes at optimal ripeness levels. This selection ensures the wines possess a freshness of fruit and a natural balance of flavors. Through modern winemaking techniques, we meticulously control fermentation, drawing out the delicate aromatics while preserving the wine’s varietal character and elegance. The judicious use of French oak adds a seamless, seductive texture and encourages further flavor development. Unmistakably expressive, with layers of flavor, elegance, and finesse, these contemporary wines can be enjoyed upon release or will reward further cellaring.
Vineyard blocks are harvested and vinified separately, allowing us to capture the unique qualities of each parcel. The fruit is destemmed and transferred to fermentation tanks for prefermentation maceration, then carefully fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve the elegant and vibrant varietal characters and create a soft tannin structure. After fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. This aging process imparts a gentle softness and texture to the wine, enhancing its bouquet, varietal character, elegance, and structure.
The accolades speak for themselves. Barossa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has been recognized by prestigious wine competitions across the globe, including the 2023 TEXSOM International Wine Awards, where it was awarded a Gold Medal. At the 2021 International Wine Challenge in London, our 2019 vintage received an impressive 95 Points and a Gold Medal.
