Hopes End Cabernet Sauvignon Brandy Barrel Aged 30 Days South Australia 750 ML

This Cab is aged in brandy barrels, and as a result, virtually all you can taste is the brandy barrel. Like cinnamon chewing gum meets air freshener meets stewed cherry fruit, it feels both odd and sweet, like an experiment gone south. Tannins are raspy and astringent, and the fruit is flat and muffled by the wood.\n \n Producer Information\n In the cool of the early morning specially selected parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon are picked at their juicy best and brought into our 110 year old winery. Here they are gently crushed and nurtured through fermentation and pressing to preserve the delicious flavours born in the vineyard. Our first duty is to fashion a Cabernet Sauvignon which speaks of the sundrenched vineyards of South Australia, soft juicy and ripe. This pristine Cabernet Sauvignon, the most noble variety, is then aged in barrels for 30 days, previously used by the drink of heroes; Australia’s most awarded Brandy. These aged barrels lend the wine a sophistication not found in less mature alternatives, bringing spice and length.
