The grapes used to craft this dazzling Cabernet Sauvignon from Tahbilk Wines were fermented in open vats and then matured in French oak. The resulting wine displays a dark blood red colour. The attractive bouquet offers scintillating aromas of cassis blackberry, mocha and choc which are replicated on the luscious palate. Ripe tannins fuse with layered aromatics and juicy flavours to culminate in a refreshing finale. Drink this fruit driven Cab Sauv immediately upon release or cellared for a decade to allow it to develop gracefully. Suggested food pairings include spiced lamb shoulder, zucchini gratin with tomato confit, and coffee ice cream.

This top Cabernet comes from a fifth-generation winemaker whose ancestors planted some of the first vines in South Australia in 1837.

Barossa Cabernet is lavishly dark and mouthfilling ... as you’ll see when you taste this luscious Gold-winning example. Classic, inky black colour with generous lashings of rich dark blackcurrant, forest fruits, chocolate with eucalypt mint and spice undertones.

The Sandpiper range is named after the migratory bird which visits the Thorn Clarke vineyards annually from the northern hemisphere - something of a reminder of the tenacity and commitment which is required for long term viticulture. Expect classic Cabernet characters of blackcurrant, plums and a hint of tomato leaf and driven by blackberry, satsuma plums and anise. The tannins are fine yet firm and there is a powerful fruit density. Truly 2019 will sit alongside the greatest vintages the Barossa has seen this century.

Punnets of strawberry, blackberry and raspberry flavour are miraculously shoehorned into a standard size bottle, while ageing in American oak adds a spicy, toasty finishing touch.
