Overview
The Thorn-Clarke William Randell Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to the pioneering spirit of Captain William Richard Randell, an ancestor of the Thorn-Clarke family. In 1852, at the age of 28 and without prior experience, Captain Randell designed and commissioned the first paddle steamer on the Murray River, an achievement that forever changed the region's history. This exceptional wine embodies his boldness and innovation, sourced exclusively from Thorn-Clarke’s estate vineyards. The William Randell range represents the pinnacle of the winery’s craftsmanship, offering a refined and sophisticated expression of Barossa’s unique terroir.
Tasting Notes
The William Randell Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a complex bouquet of dark berries, blackcurrant, and a touch of eucalyptus, complemented by subtle hints of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with rich layers of dark fruit flavours balanced by fine tannins and a gentle oak influence. The wine’s concentration and depth are matched by a vibrant freshness, showcasing the purity of fruit from the estate vineyards. The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering minerality that reflects the distinctive character of the Barossa region. A wine that embodies strength, elegance, and the adventurous spirit of its namesake.
