Cabernet Sauvignon by Xanadu 750ml

Tasting Notes A quintessential Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon The wine exhibits vibrant characteristic aromas of ripe blackcurrants blueberries and dark plums meshed with hints of spicy toasty oak The generous palate is packed full of juicy fruits of the forest cassis and chocolate characters Medium to fullbodied the fleshy fruits are supported by moreish supple tannins A balanced wine with a persistent fruit finish Perfectly approachable in its youth this wine will comfortably cellar for several years 2019 Vintage Overview The growing season began with a late budburst after a relatively cold winter with reasonable rainfall The cool spring which followed resulted in some uneven flowering and fruit set and generally lower than average yields We experienced a significant and unusual rain event midJanuary which was timely due to the later season and this was followed by some fine mild weather to get vintage underway There was a complete lack of Marri blossom leading up to and during harvest which meant that bird pressure was extreme Birdnetting absolutely vital this season There was a minor rain event coupled with high humidity midMarch which presented some challenges requiring careful fruit selection with some white varieties however this gave way to some beautiful weather right through till late April for balanced even ripening of the red varietals
