Wendouree Cabernet Sauvignon
Wendouree Cabernet Sauvignon derives from two main blocks of the historic Wendouree vineyard. The central block with its smaller berries provides spicy characters and firm tannins, with floral notes and a softer structure deriving from the western side of the vineyard. After traditional vinification, maturation takes place in new (25%) and seasoned French oak for 12 months. Dark chocolate, cassis and herb aromas, fine, strong, sinewy tannins and underlying savoury oak are typical of this cabernet sauvignon.
About Wendouree
Wendouree, a revered Australian producer, bears rich historical significance. The vineyards, planted in 1893 in Clare Valley, maintain their original essence. Roly Birks steered winemaking for 60 vintages until 1983. Lita and Tony Brady, now seasoned vintners of four decades, acquired the property in 1974. Known for robust fruit intensity, their signature style showcases powerful shiraz and unique blends like shiraz Malbec and cabernet sauvignon.
