Cabernet Sauvignon Wines

A selection of less than the top 1% of Wynns Cabernet Sauvignon production, and only made in top years, the John Riddoch Limited Release has a deep, dense colour, and pure, fragrant, concentrated aromas of blackcurrant fruit with suggestions of eucaluptus and baked earth With super-refined texture on the palate, it has fabulous succulence and easiness, with only a hint of 'edge' to the tannin - although there is nothing to get in the way of enjoying this immediately This has the precision and sophistication of the most premium echelons of Bordeaux, however its silky finesse brings Burgundy to mind Essentially, it is itself: a fabulous wine that testifies eloquently to its vineyard origin, and to the expert hand that raised and fashioned it While this will impress straight away, it could also be cellared for 15 years or longer

Ripe red berry, cassis and dark chocolate flavours are complimented by hints of mint and on the palate The wine has fine tannins with a long, mocha finish According to the winemaker, the source of the mint character is attributed to the airborne transfer from the Eucalyptus trees, which border this specific Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard, to the grape berries The berries' outer wax layer adsorbs eucalyptol, the compound responsible for the aroma, released into the air by the trees It subsequently becomes dissolved during the fermentation process, which takes place on the skins, giving the wine a minty character unique to this vineyard
