2020 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

2020 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

A strong follow-up to the 2019 reserve cabernet which won 3 trophies at the 2021 Victorian Wine Show, including Best Wine of Show. Celebrates just how good, how elegant and successful cabernet can be grown in the Strathbogies with penetrating aromatics, cassis, brambly forest leafy aromas and a light dusting of signature 'bogies bush mint and bay leaf. Plush across the palate delivered with confidence in smart, integrated oak and persistent fine tannins running long and firm, right through to the finish.

Maygars Hill

Strathbogie Ranges Victoria Australia

This 20 acre property was acquired by Jenny Houghton in 1994, for its viticulture potential and as a location for her bed and breakfast cottage.

3 acres was hand planted in 1997 into a light sandy loam. It is ideally situated in the Strathbogie Wine Region right on the border with the Goulburn Valley.

Planting has increased to 6 acres; 2 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 4 acres of Shiraz.

Strict viticultural policy with pruning, spraying and hand picking has achieved the required low yield per vine. This has consistently produced small berries of intense colour and flavour.

The altitude of 200 metres, combined with the light sandy loam and intensive monitoring, has produced grapes that enable a wine of elegance and complexity to be produced.
