PENNA LANE – CLARE VALLEY, SA
Penna Lane’s winemaker, Peter Treloar, has a connection with the Clare wine region that began five generations ago. In 1865 Peter’s ancestor, Francis Treloar, acquired land in Watervale and planted the first vines in the area which became known as Springvale. The Penna Lane vines were planted from 1996 to 1998 . The vineyard is recognised as one of the best in the Clare Valley. Growing at an elevation of approximately 450 metres, the grapes benefit from a long, slow ripening period, which intensifies their flavour. Mostly dry grown, the vines are watered only during periods of extreme dryness.
Cabernet 2018
Our Cabernet exhibits bright, lifted fruit flavours—typically currants and hints of mint—with a vanilla and spicy background from maturation in French oak barrels.
The palate is fresh and bright with fruit to the fore, balanced with complexity and edgy tannins.
Penna Lane aims to produce wines that reflect the unique fruit character of their vineyards in the Skilly Valley and they complement these flavours with appropriate fermentation techniques and barrel selection.
