2023 'The Dogwalk' Cabernet Sauvignon

Good winter rain allowed soil profiles to be full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. A remarkably cool summer, providing perfect conditions for healthy balanced vines. The long ripening period produced fruit with a perfect balance of good colour, high natural acidity, and concentrated flavours.

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the Clare Valley’s best varieties, and when it reaches its greatest potential, it can rival Riesling.

Fresh and generous, showing red fruits, blackcurrant and sweet, fleshy mulberry. Subtle leafy Cabernet notes add varietal lift, while a quiet background of charry oak and cigar box brings complexity without dominating the fruit.

Beautifully balanced and medium bodied, with an effortless flow between red and black fruit. Fine, well-integrated tannins from both grape and oak provide shape and length, while the oak influence remains firmly in the background.
