Notes on the Wine
A lighter-style cabernet sauvignon, without any of the oak chips and coloring that normally plague affordable cabernet. The nose is a combination of bright and juicy red and black fruits – quandong (a native red peach), black plum, and red currant, as well as subtle savory notes like green pepper, fern, and river mint. The palate belies the bright ruby color, with a fullness and roundness of dark fruit. Acid is bright and tannins are supple, creating a softly drying finish.
All fruit was mechanically picked and destemmed (to remain fair-labor compliant at a lower pricepoint) throughout March and April 2021. Winemaking took place in stainless steel vats, prioritizing primary fruit and savory qualities over any oak influence. Vegan-friendly.
From a selection of sites across South Australia, including Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, and Riverland. Soil types include terra rossa (red clay over limestone), clayloam duplexes, and wind-blown sands over limestone and clay.
