Margaret River is arguably Australia's premier cabernet sauvignon grape growing region and Cabernet Sauvignon is, without doubt, Margaret River's greatest natural asset. Great Cabernet Sauvignon should be both perfumed and poised; meticulous site selection is critical to achieving these key attributes.
Red with light purple hues. Plum fruit leather, mulberry and cherries with hints of menthol and subtle oak derived aromas of clove, nutmeg and cedar. Medium weight but full of vibrant cherries, red and black currants and cedar oak. Structural with powdery tannins and juicy, vibrant acidity. Beautifully flavoured, long, dusty finish. Drink now-20229.
Batches vinified separately, some with cold soak, 15-18 days on skins, matured in French barriques (27% new) for 15 months. As ever, Stella Bella's cabernet is super-sized, exploring every corner of the mouth, whether invited or not. Cedar, smoke, cassis and redcurrant are embraced by a robe of ripe tannins.
