Terroir & Winemaking Craft
- South Australian Regional Selection: Sourced from selected vineyards across South Australia, including sites in the Wrattonbully and Barossa regions. The diverse soils—ranging from terra rossa over limestone to sandy loams—yield Cabernet Sauvignon combining generous, ripe dark fruit with classic varietal herbal freshness and fine tannin structure.
- Yalumba's Wild Ferment Philosophy: Crafted by Yalumba, Australia's oldest family-owned winery (established in 1849). Vinified using indigenous (wild) yeasts to enhance aromatic nuance and texture, followed by gentle oak maturation. The wine is 100% vegan-friendly and produced with minimal intervention to emphasize purity, varietal typicity, and early drinking pleasure.

Tasting Notes
Deep crimson with violet hues, it opens with expressive aromas of ripe blackcurrants, dark plums, and crushed violets, complemented by nuances of dried mint, bay leaf, and subtle mocha spice. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied and supple, layering juicy cassis and blackberry fruit over soft, fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity that leads to a smooth, harmonious, and gently savory finish.
