If you like the 'Wilberforce' Cabernet Shiraz then
you will love this! Just like it, but even better!
The overtones of blackcurrant and rhubarb give
this wine a youthful and balanced feel whilst
displaying outstanding complexity,
that will keep you coming back for more!
When it comes to wine families, Sam and Jock Auld are the real deal. It’d be hard not to become a vino obsessive when your Barossa Valley upbringing meant dried grape seeds cushioning falls from the monkey bars and early morning pruning as teens. But given their pioneering great-grandfather planted some of SA’s very first vines, it was written. If the Auld family name had been used consistently for the last six generations, it might be as renowned
as Penfolds. But as one of the ‘in crowd’,
we’re kind of pleased it isn’t.
FROM THE WINEMAKER
The growing season began with consistent rainfall throughout winter. Spring remained warmer and drier than average and although bunch and berry size was reduced, the vineswere off to a healthy start. The reduced berry and bunch size have produced grapes of great aromatics and flavour. Summer was long and relatively mild with quite cool nights. This has helped
to retain the acidity and pristine fruit flavours in both
the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
