This wine is made from fruit grown on the historic 150 year old Turkey Flat vineyard. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines are planted on the river flat near the cellar door where they thrive on deep soils without the need for irrigation. Cabernet Sauvignon vines produce fruit of exceptional richness and concentration when grown in sites such as this.

What sets Cabernet Sauvignon apart is its ability to travel, to set down its roots in distant lands and still produce something that is recognisably Cabernet, whatever the circumstances and conditions.

Whilst the Barossa Valley has largely earned its reputation for making bold Shiraz, this wine is testimony that the Barossa is also able to produce ‘classic’ Cabernet. The ‘Black Flat’ vineyard, behind the winery, has been producing a consistent lineage of distinctive and stylish Cabernets since 1994.

This elegant and varietal Cabernet sourced from the “Black Flat” vineyard, is infused with eucalypt from the old gums that grow along the creek bed. Red currant, cedar and subtle tobacco on the nose gives way to a long palate of fine firm tannin, cassis, wood spice and forest floor. This strictly limited release will improve with careful cellaring of up to 15 years.

Medium red-purple; in classic Turkey Flat style, with savoury overtones to the distinguished blackcurrant fruit on the bouquet and palate alike; has soaked up 20 months in French oak, the tannins fine, the finish long and complete. 94 Points; James Halliday
