The Chalk Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 displays the flavours, texture and character of this variety that is perfectly suited to McLaren Vale. The wine was sourced from well-established vines planted in 1969 in deep sand soils over weathered sandstone bedrock. The relatively poor soil nutrients make the vines struggle to produce small bunches of berries with an intense deep crimson colour and concentrated flavours of blackberry, liquorice and spice - ideal for producing exceptional quality Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine was fermented for 14 days and aged in small French oak barrels resulting in great integration between the spicy savouriness and the berry and liquorice flavours, resulting in a wine with soft elegant tannins and a wonderful palate length. This Cabernet Sauvignon was not filtered before bottling and may develop a harmless dark crust on the shoulders of the bottle as part of the cellaring process. It can be comfortably cellared for a further eight years, and will benefit from decanting.
