The Caley Cabernet & Shiraz Magnum

Rare and Fine

The Caley 2019 1.5L Magnum

2019

Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz

The indelible truth about 2019 The Caley is that it is extraordinarily sleek and polished with a refined spine of freshness and control that captures the senses. The characteristics that make The Caley the most astounding of all Cabernet/Shiraz blends are not simply the parcels, the grapes and the blend but the immense skill in chaperoning these qualities drawn from far-flung paddocks and via extremely careful husbandry into the bottle.

The Caley is the pinnacle of a long winemaking journey of excellence, that rightfully honours Yalumba’s most adventurous son, Fred Caley Smith. A blend of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Barossa Shiraz, The Caley is a classic marriage of two noble varieties and two great Australian wine regions. This wine is excluded from wine club discounts.
Tasting Note Very deep and dense red in colour. Inviting and expressive florals of cassis, rose petals, iodine, violets and cedary tones. This truly epitomises the distinct character of Coonawarra and the unique essence of The Caley. Shiraz fruit merges with Cabernet Sauvignon delivering a long and seamless palate. Full in depth with a prominent chalky, mineral, tannin profile.
Terroir The Ming D block in the Yalumba Coonawarra vineyard provides the 75% Cabernet Sauvignon of this blend. This 2.7 ha plot was planted in 1992 with two clones of Cabernet Sauvignon selected for structure and depth of flavour. The Caley’s 25% Shiraz component was sourced from two Barossa blocks. The first block is the Crown Village, Schrapel old shiraz block. located along the Tanunda foothills near Krondorf about 4 km south of the Tanunda township. The second from the Horseshoe Vineyard on the southern side of the Yalumba winery in Eden Valley. Planted by Helen Hill-Smith in 1971, this block follows the contours around the Fred Caley Smith Hut.
Treatment Matured for 19 months in 24% new French Barriques, balance in 1 year and older French Barriques.
