Deep crimson in colour, with vibrant black-olives, spiced-cedar, cloves and fresh blackcurrant aromas. A refined and focused palate, displaying complex brooding characters, with a rounded and fleshy mid-palate. A wine with lovely structural tannins, which will mature gracefully for many years to come.

This wine is from the vintage’s best Cabernet Sauvignon barrels and in 2021 was produced from predominantly the Dawkins vineyard which lies east of the Eden Valley township.

The fruit was handpicked and 100% de-stemmed into an open top fermenter, where it remained for 18 days. Naturally fermented and hand plunged daily then pressed to a mix of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads for maturation. Matured in barrel for 20 months with no racking, before being clarified and bottled without filtration.

Made in only exemplary years. This classic wine is our offering to Eurus, Greek God of the East Wind, and is only made in exemplary vintages when Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displays outstanding quality. Eden Valley is typically cooled in the mornings and evenings by Easterly gully winds which are ideal for slowing the ripening and refining varietal flavours.

James Suckling

A rich cabernet sauvignon with lots of currants and dried herbs, such as thyme and bay leaf. Impressive. Full-bodied with chewy tannins that give lots of grip. It’s chewy, but not unattractive, and entices you with the austerity and fruit.
