Thorn Clarke Sandpiper Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon
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.
