Description

Charlie Seppelt and Skye Salter both love Cabernet, and 'claret' styles in general. The Whaite family, who own the Springs Hill Vineyard where they source their Shiraz, also had a block of Cabernet that was planted back in 1975.

And so, the lifelong dream of adding a Cabernet Sauvignon to their lineup was realised.

The wine has all of the hallmarks of the variety: blackcurrant, leafiness, graphite, and filled with heavenly aromatics. It's an elegant, refined Cabernet with fruit purity at the forefront. Divine stuff.

94 Points - "Blueberry, blackcurrant, pencil, violet and mint. a little baking spice. Medium-bodied, saline, some black olive, silky mesh of tannin, juicy small berried black fruit, cool acidity, a little truffle and tobacco, and a sweet and toasty iodine-laced finish of excellent length. McLaren Vale Cabernet can be very good, and this is, indeed, very good. Svelte. Composed. Almost ‘classic’, you might say." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, fruit sourced from ‘Springs Hill Vineyard’, Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale grown by the Whaite family
Hand-picked, fully destemmed and crushed cold to a wax lined, 134yr concrete open fermenter. Mixed once daily until indigenous ferment commenced then two pump overs a day until dryness. One pump over a day until we were happy the tannins were where we wanted them. Two weeks on skins, pressed to tank for sugar dryness, then racked to a mix of barriques, hogsheads and puncheons, 23% new oak for 11 months. One rack and return off gross lees post malo.
Violets and bay leaf, blueberry, cedar, blackcurrants with HB pencil. Tightly framed, lithe and intense aromatics, a touch of graphite with a classical varietal sheath of aromas. Medium framed palate weight, structure is refined, discreet almost with fresh acidity and lovely tannins that quietly lengthen out the juicy primary fruit.
