This wine genuinely captures the classic varietal characters of Cabernet Sauvignon with leafy and capsicum aromas, highlighted with hints of cedar and spice. Rich flavours of blackberries, rhubarb and toasty oak open up to a soft, fleshy middle palate to create a balanced, savoury lingering finish. The 2012 vintage of Woodstock Cabernet Sauvignon has bright acid and firm yet elegant tannins wrapped in a smooth, warm richness.
Woodstock has enjoyed a strong reputation for Cabernet Sauvignon since 1982. Situated in the higher and cooler end of the Vale, Woodstock is the perfect home for the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. Warm, sunny days with cool gully and evening sea breezes ensure the Cabernet fruit ripens well and retains its natural acidity.
Small berries with ample fermentation time on skins (at least 5 days) result in great colour and tannin structure. This wine was matured for just over 14 months in 13% new oak and the rest in 2 to 3 year old carefully selected American and French oak to provide softness and complexity.
