D'Arenberg's finest Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard in McLaren Vale lies next to Coppermine Road, metres from the winery. It is almost unfeasibly low-yielding, and yet pays its way through the extraordinarily concentrated and complex wine that it produces. Stratified upon the intense, blackcurrant, tomato leaf, red pepper and sage character of the young wine are layers of marvellous maturity, soothing roundness and nuanced spiciness. This is undoubtedly ready to drink, however it tastes as though it still has 1-2 decades of life ahead of it. Magnificent.

Winemaking
Small batches of grapes are gently crushed and then transferred to five tonne headed down open fermenters. These batches remain separate until final blending. Foot treading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation. The wine is then basket pressed and transferred to a mixture of new and used French oak barriques to complete fermentation. The barrel ferments are aged on lees, there is no racking until final blending and no fining or filtration.
