Sitting at over 450m, it’s one of the coolest and latest-ripening Cabernet sites in central Victoria, often picked as late as April, which helps explain the remarkable freshness and definition the wine carries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"529\" data-end=\"922\"\u003eJosh works with a light touch, fermenting with wild yeasts, gently extracting with basket pressing, and maturing in a mix of new Stockinger barrels and seasoned Bordeaux coopered barriques before a short time in stainless steel. The result is a Cabernet that has depth and vibrancy but never feels heavy, with dark fruit wrapped up in fine, chalky tannins and just a subtle seasoning of oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"1161\"\u003eProduction is tiny, and while it’s drinking beautifully now with a decant, this is a wine that will reward patience in the cellar. Another strong argument for why Josh’s Cabernets are some of the most exciting in the country right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Occasionally, a winemaker comes along who has the gift of presence and crafts compelling wines.
