Clarendon Hills Brookman Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
|

|
|
A pure and perfumed cabernet berry lift headlines this vineyard. Blue fruits in background with lavender, violet and rose petal florals are denominated by savoury notes of couch leather, cigar and tobacco.
Long, fine‐grained tannins are balanced within an elegant varietal expression. The chalky but not dry extract complements the remarkably feminine composure of this vineyard. The Brookman site is dogeared with sustained softness and plush‐ness which makes for a beautifully understated and vivid expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Low yielding, dry grown 65 y/o vines are hand picked thereby culturing whole berry, wild yeast fermentation. This increases the retention of the grape’s varietal essence and minimises bitter tannin extract. All pressings are returned to the barrel and bottled onsite without fining or filtration.
18 months, 75% brand new, tight-grained French Oak. 20% 1-3 year old hierarchy. Barrels are finally hand selected by winemaking team.
This wine forms part of Clarendon Hills’ ‘Premier Cru’ classification.
Elegant fruit and finely worked oak use always headline this ballerina’-esque perfume. A lifted cabernet expression that is always approachable early and offers supreme enjoy ability in its first 15 years of life.
