2016 Reynella Cabernet Sauvignon

Colour: Intense red with dark crimson edge Bouquet: Fragrant McLaren Vale Cabernet with ripe plum, mulberry and licorice with tobacco leaf, sage and black olive adding interest to the bouquet. Palate: Densely fruited palate with dark plum flesh, ripe mulberry & dark chocolate flooding the palate. Complexed by balanced cedary oak influence & coupled with fine grained tannins leads to a Cabernet with beautiful rich flesh with classic varietal structure and persistence on the palate

Vintage 2016 proved to be quite unique with high quality fruit being delivered to the winery with well above average yields. Cool winter and warm spring was preceded by a late rainfall event that boosted vine growth and refreshed soils. Closer to harvest bumper crops were aided into ripening by mild-summer temperatures and sporadic rain. Picking at optimum maturity has resulted in wines which display vibrant bright colours with ripe flavour profiles, rounded flavoursome palates and soft fine tannins.
