Tasting Notes
Blueberry, cassis and pencil shaving notes, with a touch of mint on the nose. The palate is well structured with grippy yet ripe tannin, black fruit and dark chocolate together with bright acidity give a long clean finish. A solid, savoury Cabernet Sauvignon that will benefit from 12+ years cellaring.
Winemaking Notes
Devil’s Elbow Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced entirely from Longview’s vineyard at Macclesfield, Adelaide Hills. The fruit was hand-picked to minimise fruit damage, then fermented on skins for 7 days. After maloactic fermentation, the wine was ages in old and new French Oak Barriques for 20 months.
