RARE AND FINE

The Caley

Cabernet & Shiraz 2018

Vintage quality:

The Coonawarra delivered us fruit with fine tannins, natural acidity and strong varietal flavours, and the balmy long summer of early March in the Barossa helped complete the ripening of these perfectly balanced and flavoured grapes.

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 expressive, fragrant aromatics of blackcurrant and dark cherry with cool iodine notes merging into savoury, leafy hints, all typical Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. A defined, composed and very inviting wine with succulent Shiraz throughout. Medium to full depth with a densely layered structure delivering a prominent yet silky tannin profile.
