Lime Cave Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

Color & Aroma

Deep garnet in colour. Classic red currant, cassis, dark florals and leafy/ herbal aromatics.

Palate

Concentrated cassis notes leading to delicate leafy and herbaceous characters, followed by elegant oak and black olive with chalky tannins. Good balance of fruits, oak and tannin that give excellent length. Hints of mixed cedar and spice. Beautifully structured medium to full bodied Cabernet.

Pairing

Grilled lamb chops, served with broccolini & smashed potatoes.

Cellar

Will cellar beautifully for 10-15 years

About

A generous palate with red currant, cranberry and cherry with integrated cedar oak characteristics. Designed to age, the wine is truly delicious now but will develop gracefully for 10 to 15 years.

Winemaking

Vintage Conditions

McLaren Vale's 2022 vintage will be recorded as one of the great years for the region, and though volume was down, flavours, colour and structure were all brilliant. Summer was excellent with warm, dry conditions and no 40°C days, and was followed by a perfect, warm Autumn, with harvesting starting a little later compared to recent years.

Maker Notes

18 months in French oak (15% new). Vinified in small 2T open fermenters, with fermentation finishing after 8-10 days. Kept on skins for further 8-10 days.
