The Monteperle Vineyard is located in the Lyndoch sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Grapes from this area are highly regarded for making premium age worthy wines.

Barossa’s 2019 wines will be sought out early, following the lowest yielding but possibly the highest quality vintage of the past decade. After a very dry winter and spring, frost disrupted budburst and flowering. This was followed by hot, very dry conditions with 11 days over 35C in January. The lower yields will result with great colour, intense flavours and firm tannin structure.

Purple with Ruby red hues, the bouquet is classic Cabernet Sauvignon, showing complex leafy blackcurrant fruit, herbal notes with tobacco, and dark chocolate highlights from the new French oak. The palate is long and structured, the hallmark of this variety, with blackcurrant fruit, hints of tobacco, with a sinewy tannin backbone. The great acidity and oak play a supporting role in tying all this together. This wine is built to age gracefully.
