Its flagship Cabernet Sauvignon is recognised for combining concentrated varietal fruit, fine structure and exceptional longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outstanding 2010 release is a blend of \u003cstrong\u003e90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Flowering conditions were generally favourable, and the Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot benefited from longer-than-usual skin contact during vinification. The resulting wine combines concentrated fruit with impressive phenolic ripeness, depth and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep brick red and bright in condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e A complex and powerful bouquet led by violets, blueberries and redcurrants. With bottle age, these fruit aromas have developed additional layers of tar, leather and chocolate. Extended barrel maturation contributes spicy, toasty notes without dominating the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redcurrant and mulberry provide a rich, sweet entry and generous mid-palate. Bright acidity contributes freshness, while concentrated phenolics build depth and mouthfeel. The tannins are evident but beautifully integrated, giving the wine a smooth texture and long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll fruit was hand-picked, destemmed and transferred to small open fermenters.
