This vintage of McGuigan's Black Label: Cabernet Sauvignon displays aromas of lifted spiced fruit, plum and blueberry with layers of chocolate and sweet spice. Soft and elegant spiced fruit characters, with generous weight and good length of flavour with a sweet oak finish. 

The fruit for this approachable, full flavoured wine was sourced from our vineyards in South Eastern 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. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

The grapes for this wine were crushed to varying sizes where the fruit was fermented in oak at cooler temperatures for 5-7days. This allows the fruit flavours tro be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. 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. Components are then selected, blended and clarified.

Food Pairing: An ideal partner for red meat dishes, especially succulent roast dinners.
