Site selection for Adelaide Hills Bird in Hand Cabernet Sauvignon is absolutely essential. The 2019 vintage was from a low yielding block in Macclesfield in south-eastern fringe of the Adelaide Hills. An intensely complex yet varietal Cabernet with notes blackcurrant, plum and violet florals complemented by nuanced and classy oak characters- cedar, mocha and spearmint. This is a medium bodied Cabernet style with structure and elegance. The mid-palate offers generous weight and depth, all framed by long, silky tannins.
Ageing potential: The wine will cellar for several years.
