CABERNET SAUVIGNON

The Statham Estate Vineyard was first planted in the 1960’s and located at the height of one of Barossa Valley’s most elevated sites in the cool Blewitt Springs subregion, sitting 130 meters above sea level.

COLOUR Dark plum red

BOUQUET Sweet dark ripe fruits with blackberry and blackcurrant notes. Complex mulberry and raspberry fruit with tobacco and herbaceous fruit lift.

PALATE A very juicy front palate with a lovely and approachable full bodied, ripe palate balanced with elegant tannins. Full and rich palate weight with ripe tannins, length and structure.Complex oak integration, round, full and solid on the palate.

WINEMAKING Sourced from the Statham Estate Vineyard in the cool sub-region of Blewitt Springs, parcels were harvested separately based on flavour and tannin ripeness. Due to the diligence of the dedicated vineyard team we are able to ferment these lovely little parcels separately in our small two and four tonne open fermenters. Further complexity is added with the combination of new, one and two year old French and American oak hogsheads.
