Description

There are few purely Barossa Cabernet Sauvignons being made.  Like the Sandpiper, Cabernet Sauvignon doesn’t like really extremely cold or hot weather.  The key to growing Cabernet Sauvignon successfully is selecting a site which will allow slow steady ripening.  Sandpiper aims to show that well balanced, varietal Cabernet Sauvignon can be successfully grown in the Barossa.

Bright red with a purple hue on release. Lifted blackcurrant balances the fresh herb characters on the nose. A hint of eucalyptus is evident. The palate has bright currant characters throughout. Spice and chocolate add to the complexity of the wine. The tannins are ripe and grainy and give the wine good structure.
