Crushed and destemmed fruit, fermented with cultured yeast. Matured 18 months in French oak (30–40% new). Eric Stevens Purbrick, the grandfather of CEO, Alister Purbrick, created the traditions that hold the producer in good stead in the 21st Century. These culminate beautifully, artfully, in the '17 Eric Stevens Purbrick Cabernet. This is definitely about a taste of tradition, of measured oak, of ripe fruit allowed to fully express, and a sense of place in the earthy, dusty savouriness. This is no power cabernet. Aromas of the Aussie bush, sage, baked earth, light herbals and violets. A warm, inviting palate of dark chocolate and spice, finishing with firm tannins. Elegant and enticing now, but save some for later.
