View Tasting Notes
This well balanced expression of McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon is an ode to the ‘luncheon claret’. The fruit is from a vineyard with good breeding in the foothills of Blewitt Springs. This Cabernet has been made in a soft elegant, aromatic style. It has classic First Drop drinkability, so bottoms up!
The fruit is crushed/destemmed and fermented at temperatures ranging from 20- 25°C for 7 days on skins. The ferment is managed by a variety of techniques, including ‘aerative pump overs’ and ‘drain and returns’ which assist in extracting colour, flavour and tannin from the grapes. At the end of fermentation, it is drained/pressed, and transferred to 10% new French oak barriques, and the balance to 3 and 4 year old French oak hogsheads to undergo MLF. Post MLF, sulphur dioxide is added, and the wines mature sur lie for 12 months.

Let customers speak for us
from 10 reviewsHave always loved "Mother's Milk" shiraz. First tasted it at a restaurant, took a photo of the label and then bought some as soon as I got home that day.
What a great idea to present this wine in a 1L bottle.
Keep up the good work.

Wow!! How good is this Nebbiolo. Just a beautiful wine to drink and lovely on the nose. Not to heavy and not to light. Just right!
