2010 Regional Range, Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Region
Clare Valley, South Australia. Traditionally the idyllic valleys and rolling hills of Clare have been considered a single region, when in fact it consists of five distinct sub-regions. Our Clare Valley range of wines showcase the diversity of this region.
Vineyard
To create this wine we selected fruit from vineyards situated in the north of the Clare Valley to the north east of the town of Clare itself and from the high altitude Stanway family Kalimpa vineyard in Armagh, north west of Clare.
Growing Conditions
An exceptional vintage offering the opportunity to create full bodied and well balanced wines. During winter and spring we experienced good rainfall and this was followed by optimal weather for reipening over the summer months.
Winemaking
All parcels were picked and fermented separately in fermenters with regular pump overs to maximise the extraction of colour, flavour and tannins from the skins. The resultant wines were pressed off and aged in a combination of French and American oak for a period of twelve months. The separate parcels were then blended to achieve a balance and length of flavour, structure and elegance.
Tasting Notes
A vibrant deep red and purple in the glass, this wine shows the classic Clare Cabernet characters of blackcurrant, dried herbs and crushed violets on the nose with enticing cedary notes. The palate is rich in plum, mulberry and dark cherry fruit characters, balanced by velvet tannins. A rich and full bodied wine.
