2024 Signature Collection Cabernets

REGION: Granite Belt, Queensland.

COLOUR: Rich, burgundy red.

TASTING NOTES: An expressive nose of intense blackcurrant, bramble and dark cherry with touches of mint and forest floor delight the senses in this Cabernets blend. Elegant and structural Cabernet Sauvignon is the heart of this wine, enhanced by dark, brooding Petit Verdot offering spices, black fruits and chocolate tones along with touches of vanilla an char from barrel maturation.

WINEMAKING COMMENTS: Around 9 months in oak (90% French oak, 10% American oak), this wine is still very youthful, reflecting the power and concentration of this vintage. Fruit flavours are still very fresh and bright and are yet to progress to cooked or dried fruit flavours. This indicates this wine has a long cellaring potential, but is also good to drink now.

All varietals were fermented and oak matured separately before the best individual barrels were carefully selected for blending. Petit Verdot tends to compliment Cabernet Sauvignon by adding plush texture, richness and more mid-palate weight to soften the tannins of Cabernet.

FOOD MATCHING: Enjoy with chargrilled beef fillet, potato gratin, seasonal greens, truffle butter and jus.
