Overview
The Shingleback Davey Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and vibrant wine, crafted from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the unique red and black soils over limestone at the Shingleback Vineyard. With a focus on maximising fragrance and capturing the essence of the fruit, this wine undergoes partial cold soaking and extended fermentation on skins, resulting in a silky yet firm tannin structure. Maturation for 14 months in fine-grained French and Central European oak hogsheads further enhances its complexity, softening and integrating the fruit and structural components. A luscious, fruit-forward wine that is both approachable upon release and worthy of cellaring.
Tasting Notes
The Shingleback Davey Estate Cabernet Sauvignon presents an enticing bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, enhanced by subtle notes of oak and spice. On the palate, the wine reveals rich flavours of cassis and dark cherry, complemented by silky tannins that provide a firm yet smooth finish. The extended maturation in fine oak has added depth, with elements of cedar, vanilla, and a touch of tobacco enhancing the wine's complexity. The result is a harmonious balance of fruit and structure, making this Cabernet Sauvignon both food-friendly and elegant, with the potential for further development in the cellar.
