2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (SOLD OUT)

James Halliday Wine Companion Rating
Gold 95 Points

A distinctive cabernet described by the maker as an 'elegant' version of the standard cabernet, with a percentage of whole bunches added to the ferment. Matured in American and French oak for 16 months, it has slurped up the oak, retaining a cedary sheen. A deep, dark world of violets, cassis, briar and wild forest berries. Light savouriness on the palate. Supple and, yes, elegant. Bring out the decanter with this one.

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.
