TASTING NOTES

Owners/ Vignerons son Sebastian has been making a barrel of wine since the age of 8. In year 2 of making wine, Sebastian wanted to understand what would happen if you co-fermented Cabernet and Shiraz together. This single barrel Melba Block co-fermented Cabernet and Shiraz (8%) is medium bodied in weight. Displays notes of blackcurrants and cedar, with gentle tannin and a savoury finish.
