About This Wine

From the remote and cool-climate Suckfizzle Vineyard in Karridale, known for its lower temperatures and higher rainfall, this Cabernet Sauvignon captures both intensity and freshness. The 2020 vintage came from a warm, low-yielding, and dry season, producing a wine of depth and concentration, balanced by the site’s natural acidity.

Tasting Notes

Juicy raspberry, nori/dried kelp, tobacco leaf, and briny notes form the aromatic base, lifted by exotic layers of star anise, toasted fennel seeds, saltbush, and licorice. The palate combines clarity of acidity with concentrated fruit and perfectly structured, chewy tannins. Despite its density and power, the wine retains an elegance and spaciousness that invites continued drinking.
