2023 Cabernet
Chirnside
Detailed & Pure
The 2023 Chirnside Cabernet was such a treat for us to make! After working with Mac Forbes, and really honing in on claret styles of cabernet making gave us an opportunity to work with an incredible older vineyard that’s very well suited to growing excellent cabernet. A classic style, coming from a long cool ripening season to help produce a wine of vibrancy and elegance.
Tasting Note:
‘Deep blue/purple colour, vibrant lifted aromatics on the nose, cassis, heady spices, anise, wild fennel, tobacco leaf. Fleshy, juicy blackcurrant and blueberries that glide like velvet. Tannins interweave to a long finish.’
