Overview
The Thorn-Clarke Sandpiper Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable expression of Barossa’s distinctive terroir, crafted from carefully selected fruit across Thorn-Clarke’s own vineyards. Produced in a fruit-forward style, this wine is aged for 12 months in primarily French oak, enhancing its structure while allowing the purity of the fruit to shine through. Ready for immediate enjoyment, this Cabernet Sauvignon has the potential to cellar gracefully for up to five years, developing further complexity with age. A true representation of Barossa’s mastery of Cabernet, this wine delivers intensity and finesse in equal measure.
Tasting Notes
The Sandpiper Cabernet Sauvignon presents an inviting nose of dark berries, cassis, and a touch of cedar, with a fine lift of aromatic complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and vibrant, with an intense concentration of fruit balanced by subtle oak nuances from the French oak maturation. Flavours of ripe blackcurrant and plum intertwine with a hint of spice, creating a harmonious and structured profile. The finish is long and elegant, with soft tannins that lend a refined edge to the rich fruit character, making this a beautifully crafted Cabernet that will evolve beautifully with time.
