A beautiful wine in all respects, its heart soft and generous, its head stern and serious, the combination as complete as it is complex. It tastes of an assortment of red and black berries, tobacco and cloves, with tremendously well integrated smoky oak and plenty of tang, tannin, flavour and run through the finish. An exhibition in both power and elegance

97 points Campbell Mattinson winecompanion.com.au


A blend of 55% Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Barossa Shiraz, this is a classic Australian marriage of two noble varieties and two great wine regions. It brings together the linear elegance, firm tannins and persistent structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the voluptuous, textural richness of Shiraz. The Caley is a wine that is made for longevity, and while its richness will be enjoyed in its youth, its elegance and structure will last for more than a decade and a half.

Sourced from three outstanding vineyards of the Coonawarra and Barossa regions, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz parcels were fermented separately in open fermenters. Indigenous or ‘wild’ yeasts, naturally present on the grape skins, initiated the fermentation to contribute complexity, richness and fine texture.
 
Gentle plunging and pulsing of the skins was undertaken to achieve the right balance of colour, tannin and phenolic extraction.
 
The Caley was matured for 20 months in a mix of 41% new French barriques and 29% in older French barriques and hogsheads. The barrels were all made and seasoned at the Yalumba Cooperage. After bottling, the wine was cellared for a further 36 months and released in 2018.
