The Mount Bold McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 captures the essence of one of South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions. Sourced from select growers across McLaren Vale, this vintage showcases the varietal purity and plush texture that define the region’s best Cabernet. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve vibrant fruit intensity and matured for twelve months in seasoned oak, it delivers a harmonious balance of richness, depth, and refined structure.

In the glass, it opens with layered aromas of dark berry fruits, vanilla oak, and a subtle hint of earth, cocoa and spice. The palate is medium-bodied yet full of flavour, unfolding with dark plum, blackberry and the distinct cassis that marks a true Cabernet Sauvignon. Rounded, velvety tannins glide seamlessly through the palate, integrating perfectly with the understated oak to create a finish that is both soft and lingering. Aged in older barrels, this wine’s slow development enhances its complexity while preserving its fresh, concentrated fruit core.

The previous vintage received 95 points from Winestate Magazine, affirming Mount Bold’s reputation for producing exceptional value Cabernet with balance, texture, and length. Best enjoyed alongside slow-cooked lamb shoulder, beef ragu, or roasted root vegetables, this is a wine that pairs sophistication with everyday approachability — a true expression of McLaren Vale’s craftsmanship.
