Basket Range Wine Estate, Cabernet Blend 2022, Adelaide Hills Australia

Produced by the two brothers that are rising stars in the Australian wine scene. This wine is the evolution of the style their father made using the same fruit; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

These vines were planted first in the early 1980s. 

Growing these varieties and making them into wine, they see the quality of the site and concentration of the fruit. Each block sits at a northern-facing aspect on loamy clay over sandstone.

The wine shows ripeness of tannin, structure and balance, while having energy and elegance. A reflection of an excellent site for these varieties.

This is a Cabernet Sauvignon-predominant blend (75%) with Merlot (19%) and Petit Verdot (6%). Each component was fermented in 2000L vats and matured in French barriques for 10 months.
