Region: South Eastern Austrailia.
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 2008.
Style: Rich with a soft finish
Volume: Alc/Vol: 13.5%
Description: Ruby red with crimson hues.The Eaglehawk Cabernet Sauvignon displays attractive spice, mint and berry fruit aromas with a hint of supporting oak.
Tasting Notes: The palate is rich with varietal flavours of blackcurrant and mint, with a soft lingering finish. Enjoy now or with up to two years of bottle age.
Winemaking and Ageing: Parcels of this wine were matured with French and American oak. The fruit was crushed and destemmed prior to fermentation. Post ferment the wine was then gently pressed before a brief contact with oak giving a subtle influence on the finished wine without dominating the varietal fruit characters.
Vintage Conditions: The 2008 vintage was warm to hot, with a pro-longed heatwave in mid-March. However, grapes picked before the elevated temperatures were delivered to the winery in pristine condition, resulting in good varietal definition and balanced flavours
