60% Cabernet, 24% Merlot, 11% Malbec, and 5% Petit Verdot

"A magnificent expression of cool-climate Cabernet and one of Australia's most respected Bordeaux-inspired red blends. The exceptional 2021 vintage delivers wonderful depth and complexity, with an enticing bouquet of blackcurrant, cassis, dark plum and blackberry, layered with cedar, graphite, fragrant tobacco and subtle savoury herbs. The palate is beautifully structured yet remarkably refined, with concentrated dark fruit, finely woven tannins and beautifully integrated French oak. Cabernet Sauvignon provides the backbone, while Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot add richness, texture and complexity. Long, elegant and wonderfully persistent, this is a wine of real pedigree with the structure and balance to reward extended cellaring."
