RARE AND FINE

The Caley

Cabernet & Shiraz 2016

Vintage quality:

Vintage arrived 2 weeks early in Coonawarra leading to fruit with great richness and concentration. Moderate winter and a warm summer moderated by cool nights lead to great acidity, retention and pristine fruit flavours.

Cellar guide:

Built to spend many years in the cellar, The Caley takes time to reveal its true character. Drinking beautifully on release the wine will live on for decades in the cellar. If opened as a younger wine we recommend double decanting prior to serving.

Notes:

Very deep, dense red. Showcasing bright, attractive floral notes, cherry, oyster shell, leafy stalks and redcurrant, all typical of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. A very defined and composed wine with engaging ripe fruits on the palate. Medium to full depth with a densely layered structure delivering a prominent yet silky tannin profile.
