Country: Australia
Region: Mount Gambier
Terroir: Volcanic, Sand, Limestone
Farming: Organic
Fining/Filtration: None
Added SO2: None
ABV: 12.2%
Description:
The wines made by Kyatt Dixon and his team continue to dazzle us. They really are some of our very favourite currently being produced in the country – always classical and precise with very pure varietal expression, and always compelling in their expression of the Mount Gambier area’s various pockets, with both limestone and volcanic influence on show in varying levels across the different cuvees.
2023 is a brilliant year, with really excellent quality of fruit made even more special by a slightly longer period of elevage and time in bottle.
This is 100% cabernet sauvignon from the Spehr’s vineyard, which was totally destemmed prior to fermentation, macerated for a relatively brief 5 days and then pressed to stainless steel for fermentation and elevage.
Medium-bodied with moderate alcohols – a touch lighter and less extracted than many examples from the region, or neighbouring Coonawarra – this is nonetheless generous in flavour and texture, with unmistakable and startingly pure cabernet flavours of red and black berries and leafy pyrazine character.
A late contender for our Australian red wine of the year!
