McGuigan Single Batch Project Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (Australia)

Description

Cherry, Herbal, Oak

On the nose there are aromas of black cherries and blueberries followed by herbal undertones. This Cabernet Sauvignon is well rounded with a luscious palate of upfront dark fruit with intergrated cedar oak. Fine velvety tannins ensure a balanced and long-lasting finish.

Every vintage, each wine parcel is allocated a batch code, separated from other batches and treated independently to ensure cleanliness and purity of winemaking. With Mother Nature ensuring each year offers new possibilities and hope of a celebrated vintage, these codes are the only constant, and have come to symbolise our family's commitment to always make the wine the hero.

Batch 16CAS#03XI was crushed and de-stemmed where a portion of the wine was transferred onto oak in temperature controlled envirnments to maximise fruit flavour and retention. A selected yeast strain L2226/BDX was also added during this process. Post fermentation, the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks with a percentage of the wine transferred onto French and American oak for further maturation. The wine is then carefully blended, stabilised and clarified resulting in a balanced and approachable Cabernet Sauvignon.

Food Pairing: This wine is a perfect accompaniment to a rare steak or roast chicken with seasoned vegetables.
