Vintage 2021
It was mainly with Langhorne Creek Cabernet Sauvignon that John Glaetzer and Wolf Blass helped to build Langhorne Creek’s profile with three Jimmy Watson trophies on the trot back in the early 70’s.
Winemaking: Fruit was picked in a number of separate small batches, all of which were de-stemmed and crushed to small open top fermenters. The wine was then pumped over 2-3 times daily throughout fermentation to extract colour, flavour and tannins, prior to pressing to seasoned French oak hogsheads. The wine then underwent malolactic fermentation in oak, prior to maturation in the same barrels until blending and bottling.
Tasting Notes: Deep red/purple in colour, the Cabernet Sauvignon is quite lifted & floral a varietal nose of cassis and blackcurrant with some dried leaf, tobacco and spicy oak. The palate is well structured, long and silky, with cassis and dark blackcurrant fruit with fine chalky tannin, good balancing acidity and length. This wine will definitely benefit from decanting in its youth.
