Cabernet 80%, 20% Malbec. 17 months in older French Barrels
Cabernet and Malbec have long been great blending partners in the Clare Valley with many fine examples being produced over the years. Deep red colour as is the norm with the red wines from the Gaelic Cemetery Vineyard.
Deep Crimson with richly aromatic in the savoury spectrum showing green olive and mulberry leaf characters. Classic Clare structure of medium weight, fine grained tannins with excellent length. Fruit flavours consist of mulberry and blackberry notes complemented by dried herbs. Oak is barely noticeable with maturation adding texture and subtle spice notes. 2016 was one of the great Clare Valley vintages, cellaring recommended
Bold and ripe but firm. It establishes authority and exercises it responsibly. Mint, coffee-cream, dark cakey blackberry and spicy/smoky oak. Both powerful and precise. Cork. 14.5% alc.
