Bleeding Heart McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (Australia)

Description

Oak, Plum, Spice

Classic Cabernet nose exhibiting berry fruit intensity underpinned by toasty oak. An impressive mouthful, the palate is full of dark berries and ripe plum before an impressively long finish enhanced by fine tannins. 

Sourced from a combination of established, dry-grown vineyards in central South Australia and low-yielding McLaren Vale vineyards. Wines are made and matured by Jim Zerella in McLaren Vale. The combination of two regions delivers well-balanced wines with excellent intensity of flavour whilst maintaining elegance and versatility as a food match.

Fruit is chilled before de-stemming and a cold soak for three days. Each parcel is fermented separately with the McLaren Vale Shiraz fermented in small open two tonne vessels before maturation in two to four year old oak barrels for six months.

Food Pairing: Perfect with char grilled lamb.
