Description
"Fruit expressive and friendly, the wine shows notes of blackcurrant, spiced cherry, game and black olive on the nose, followed by a nicely fruited palate that is juicy and silky. The wine offers attractive fruit intensity and fine tannins, making it very approachable. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2018
McGuigan Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a berry nose complimented by mint, leather and a subtle oak influence. This full bodied wine displays mint and herbaceous notes, typical of Cabernet, combined with balanced acid and oak providing an excellent structure to this wine which contributes to its extended length.
Select parcels of fruit are taken from premier vineyards in the Riverland and Limestone Coast regions located in South Australia. The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Modern viticultural and winemaking techniques mean that the climate can be seen as one of the region's strengths. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.
Picked at their prime in the cool of the night, the fruit was transported directly to the winery where the fruit was crushed and fermented on their skins, delivering the rich colour. The wine was then matured in tank and on French & American oak before bottling.
Food Pairing: This wine matches perfectly with a range of rich dishes including red meat stews or casseroles.
