2022 The Black Chook Cabernet Sauvignon

THE REGION
The grapes used to make this wine have been sourced from vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia. With dominant winter rainfall, warm, dry summers that are tempered by the proximity to the Gulf St. Vincent and low humidity, McLaren Vale has one of the most consistent climates in which to grow premium wine grapes.

WINEMAKING
Each vineyard parcel was vinified and matured separately and oak was selected to best suit and express the nuances of each vineyard block. The final wine was blended after 14 months of oak maturation.

THE WINE
This wine displays varietal Cabernet Sauvignon characters; rich and generously loaded with blackberry and mulberry fruits, well supported by oak spice and fine long tannins. This delicious, dense and fruit packed wine will complement a wide variety of meal choices, especially red meat, pasta and slow braised dishes.
