38 Days - Cabernet Sauvignon / Shiraz | 2017

Estate-grown old vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz have undergone 38 days of extended maceration (skin contact) before blending. This technique, in combination with judicious use of seasoned French and American oak, was employed to yield a generous wine with profound depth, complexity and structure. Elegant tertiary characteristics have emerged, making this is a wine that can both be enjoyed now with a rich, hearty meal like slow-cooked osso buco or roasted winter vegetables and will continue to develop in bottle over the next 10 to 20 years with patience and careful cellaring.

Awarded: 5 Stars: 95 Points, Sam Kim - Wine Orbit 

"Gorgeously styled and expressed, the wine shows blackcurrant, toasted spice, dried herb and roasted hazelnut aromas on the nose. It's richly flavoursome in the mouth, offering terrific fruit intensity with savoury nuances, leading to a sturdy yet graceful finish. Wonderfully harmonious and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2034." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
