Fifty/Fifty South Australia Shiraz Cabernet 2023 (Australia)

Description

Blackberry, Floral, Spice

"Upfront and attractively expressed with blackberry, rich floral, almond and warm spice aromas, it's succulent and plump in the mouth with juicy fruit flavours. Generous and flavoursome with a long, tasty finish. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2024

Rich blackberry and blueberry characters from the Cabernet Sauvignon are complemented by spicy cinnamon, clove, and raspberries from the Shiraz. The wine balances rich chocolate characters with a hint of spiciness in the finish.

This exceptional blend combines 50% Shiraz and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from premium vineyards in Langhorne Creek, South Australia.

From the outstanding 2023 vintage, this Langhorne Creek Shiraz displays generous concentration and depth. Full-bodied and mouth-filling, it reveals lifted red and black berry fruits, including plum, blackcurrant and dark cherry, complemented by delicate violet and lavender florals and subtle hints of spice and cedar. Matured with premium French and American oak, adding complexity, structure and elegance.

Sourced from Langhorne Creek, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon vintage experienced a significant reduction in yields, resulting in greater fruit concentration and intensity. Matured with premium French and American oak, it showcases classic varietal character, with rich cassis, dark berries and blackcurrant aromas, complemented by pencil-box cedar, earthy nuances and fine, chalky tannins that are beautifully integrated.
