Tasting Notes

Produced from the 70 year old vines at our Ingoldby Road vineyard, our Kardi Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is simply the best red wine we can craft each vintage. The berries are small and concentrated, with intense colour, flavour and structure. Open fermentation with extended skin contact is employed, with maturation in 100% French oak (35% new) for 18 months. A selection of only the best barrels make the cut to the final blend.

In the glass this small batch blend has an inky depth of colour. The nose offers blackberry, cassis, and black olive notes with just of hint of capsicum. The palate exudes these dark fruit characters, with spicy toasty oak supporting the intense fruit. The depth and intensity of this wine is complemented by balance and elegance, seriously concentrated fruit with amazing persistence of flavour. The provenance of the Ingoldby Vineyard are truly present in this beautiful example of a McLaren Vale rich and full bodied red wine.

38 bottles produced only.
