Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
The Cabernet-Shiraz blend is an Australian invention, and this one comes off old vines at Nagambie Lakes, where a network of waterways moderates an otherwise hot inland climate and keeps the nights cool. Cabernet supplies cassis, cedar and structure; Shiraz fills the middle with dark plum and pepper. Add dried herb, tobacco and an earthy savour. Medium-full with firm tannin and a long acid line. The estate has farmed this ground since 1860 and the style is deliberately traditional — austere young, and built to age.
