Vinified from fruit grown to the Davey family property, along with choice parcels from vineyards owned and operated by good friends and neighbours throughout the McLaren Vale. Cabernet grapes are sent to small open fermenters, where the cap of skins is gently worked to achieve optimum balance of colour, flavour and soft tannin structure. The majority of the wine is matured under a combination of fine oak puncheons, developing maturity and softening the mascular Cabernet tannins. A course of rack and returns serves to integrate components, mellowing the spice and vanillan characters of oak and adding defintion to the structure. Alcohol 14.0%
