    This single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon originates from our Armagh property in the Clare Valley from vines planted in 1998. Small parcels of fruit are hand selected and picked at optimum ripeness. Exhibiting a complex varietal nose of blackberries, plums and a hint of eucalypt. The palate displays pronounced blackberries and star anise which is rounded out with integrated oak and fine tannins.

    Winemaking

    Selective harvested then destemmed into open top fermenters allowing for maximum control over the fermentation period. The fruit was then held at 10-15 degrees for 2 days before allowing to warm naturally and start fermentation. After 10 days on skins the
    wines were pressed to 20% new, 80% seasoned French oak Hogsheads where they matured for 18 months.

    Winemaker's Notes

    Similar to the Shiraz, the rainfall in 2021 has helped the vines significantly, the cooler vintage and longer ripening periods has allowed the fruit to develop more expressive varietal character.

    VINTAGE CONDITIONS

    The 2021 Vintage shaped up to be a very good year. The first break of the drought since 2020 brought much-needed rainfall throughout winter, perfect for our whites. The longer ripening period resulted in richer, more flavourful whites, with higher acidity levels and great depth of flavour and colour. Reds also benefited from the extra time on the vine, developing complex flavours and aromas.
