Critic reviews

James Halliday – 75/25% cabernet sauvignon/touriga nacional. There’s something agreeably old school about this, but it’s also clearly the product of a refined approach, in both vineyard and winery. When I say old school, I’m going back much further than what we generally regard as such. It feels bygone, in a very good way. Oak performs a function, but it doesn’t headline, fruit is ripe but not pushed. Plush blue and red florals, liqueur cherry, dark chocolate, toasted malt, licorice, caraway, so much iodine and kelp, like wintery sea-lashed rocks, a fresh blueberry levity, lavender and ground fresh rosemary, a cabernet leafiness levelling. Complex, layered and abundant, but savoury with it. What a lovely bottle this is. – Marcus Ellis, Wine Companion Aug 2024

About this Wine

Upon purchasing the vineyard in 2012 I saw it as an ideal place to create blends that included grape varieties I believe will see McLaren Vale into the future, and further, complement the traditional varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. I grafted two contoured and terraced blocks on deep red soil closest to the scrub at the top of the south-facing slope to Touriga Nacional with the intention of blending with Tempranillo, Graciano and Mataro. Blending with Cabernet Sauvignon was never planned, but as fate would have it, there is amagic between the two varieties that can't be ignored.

Block 1 Cabernet Sauvignon hand harvested on the 25th of March and gently crushed to a stainless-steel fermenter with 13 days on skins before pressing and settling in tank for 35 days. Racked to old French oak puncheons for malolactic fermentation and maturation before blending.

Block 8 and 11 Touriga Nacional hand harvested on the 8th of April and gently crushed to an old French oak fermenter for 13 days before pressing and settling for 21 days. Transferred to an old 2800L French oak vat for malolactic fermentation. Blended on the 13th of October, 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Touriga Nacional, and sent to French oak puncheons, 3rd to 5th use, for 12 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered on the 28th of October 2022.

Flavour Profile: Creme de cassis is a classic aroma for Cabernet Sauvignon and here it is in abundance. Unsmoked cigars in a cedar box sitting in brambles surrounded by a moat of master stock - if such a thing is possible. The Touriga Nacional florals support Cabernet's aromatics and amplify them.

Structure & Texture: Raspberry leaf, pink jelly crystals, split red wood, star anise and black currants are matched by an oyster shell texture that builds and builds again before a glossy crescendo, and a wall of fruit that slowly disassembles and forces you to swallow. A joyous riot that will bamboozle and polarise. Cabernet Sauvignon needs Touriga Nacional! - Stephen Pannell
