Deep crimson purple in colour, Lovely dark rich black fruit on the nose open up to show varietal notes of cassis and blackcurrant as stand out features. Powerful fruit purity and varietal notes cassis and blackberry and blackcurrant dominate while seamless oak and fine tannins provide line and length to this smooth voluptuous wine.
Grapes were specifically sourced from the Western Barossa Valley. It's hard country with the shallow grey sandy soil over red clay producing small bunches of intense, non-herbaceous Cabernet Sauvignon. Cropping levels were low and much of the older vineyards were hand picked and selected by vigneron and winemaker especially for the high fruit intensity of the individual grapes. 2019 was another stand out vintage from a quality point of view although we had the lowest yields in recent history which meant incredible intensity of flavour and colour. We use extreme cold maceration to extract as much natural fruit flavour as possible and use open top fermenters and hand plunge keeping our old-world winemaking philosophy front of mind during the entire process to ensure only the finest wine is aged in barrel for 12 months prior to final blending and minimal filtration.
94 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine
"Standout blackcurrant aromas jumping out of the glass. Ripe sweet berry fruit palate has plenty of tannins and long finish."
94 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"This is wonderfully ripe and enticing with cassis, dark plum, chocolate, cedar and clove notes with a hint of tobacco. The palate displays excellent weight and richness, brilliantly framed by fine chalky tannins. Splendidly structured and persistent. At its best: now to 2031. $30.00. www.colonialwinecompany.com.au. March 2022."
