Jacob's Creek Classic Shiraz Cabernet
TASTING NOTES
This wine is in the colour of ruby red, complemented with aroma of spicy red fruit and cherry bouquet, supported by hints of cedary oak. On the palate, it brings vibrant layered fruit flavours with soft tannins and a long, velvety finish.
Rich, fresh flavour expresses the intensity of the 2013 vintage in the Barossa. Elegant fine tannins are felt across the palate and the subtle oak influence yields cedar and soft charry notes on the finish. This wine is beautifully balanced, with excellent structure and length typifying the St Hugo Heritage of power and elegance.
The Gorge Cabernet Block is one of the jewels of our estate vineyard. Gravelly soils over ancient rocks produces a wonderfully structured wine that speaks intimately of the site where it was grown.
At our winery vineyard we are fortunate to be the custodians of one of the most unique and inspiring vineyard sites in McLaren Vale. The picturesque undulating hills and ancient geological formations are enhanced by our elevation, as the site perfectly capitalises on the beneficial coastal influence. Each individual block on this vineyard is distinctive and charismatic due to its expressive geology and unique meso-climate. For this reason we have decided to showcase the uniqueness of our winery vineyard in this single block range of wines.
The barrel fermentation and maturation has resulted in a more layered and textured palate, whilst still maintaining the trademark varietal citrus and stone fruit purity. The remainder of the wine is held cool in stainless steel tanks and on its yeast lees for 8 months prior to bottling.
The Parson Cabernet Sauvignon is our introduction to explore and enjoy this regal McLaren Vale variety. This wine displays expressive and alluring aromas of liquorice and mulberry. The wonderfully structured and eloquent palate is broodingly complexed by an array of persistent fine grain tannins.
