2020 Wild Duck Creek Estate ‘Dabbler’ Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenere 750ml

A wonderfully complex medium bodied single vineyard blend.

A harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere, picked on the same day and co-fermented to marry their flavours and aromas. Coming from our Adairs Lane Vineyard close to the winery, the grapes are fully de-stemmed and fermented in small open fermenters. Gently hand plunged and basket pressed into second use French oak barriques and hogsheads. Medium bodied in nature, this wine is a wonderful accompaniment to many styles of cuisine.

Tasting Notes

(Cabernet Sauvignon & Carmenere) – A big splash of Carmenere at 33%. Partially co – fermented, then matured in 2^nd use Hogsheads and Barriques. Plum purple colour. The aromas are soft with notes of red berries, plums and mixed herbs. The flavour is smooth and supple with mouth-watering acids. It starts at the front of the palate with primary fruit and builds, making you think of fresh cut sage and the smells of a bushwalk. The acid frames the palate beautifully and leaves you wanting more. Your glass will not be big enough. 14.4% alc. 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Carmenere.
