This is the first release of Cabernet Sauvignon by Two Sisters, and it contains a small component of Shiraz in a nod to the Barossa Cabernet tradition. This traditional fuller bodied Barossa Cabernet is an elegant savoury and delicious wine with finesse.

The warm growing season promoted rich ripe and generous fruit flavours - rich black currant with inviting, sweet black fruits, delivering supple cassis berry fruits with a hint of black chocolate, good concentration in the mouth, with a fine-grained tannin finish. Enjoy this wine with good food and friends over the next decade.

Appearance: Mid-red with carmine tints.

Aroma: Lifted cassis, attractive spiced plum, dark fruit, and a hint of black chocolate complimented with soft oak vanilla.

The grapes were harvested, destemmed, and then cold-soaked for 1-2 days to encourage the extraction of soft tannins, before being whole berry fermented (in the absence of stalks) in open fermenters. The resulting wine was aged in old American and French oak barrels together with some newer barrels.

The 2020 vintage will be noted for its paucity of rain (2019 rainfall at Nuriootpa was the lowest on record), which resulted in light crops around 50% of the five year average. Cooler than average temperatures in January through March promoted the development of excellent fruit flavour and high colour levels yet retaining elegance. It is regarded as a solid vintage with good flavour concentration.

The Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards grown at around 300m elevation on the Barossa Valley floor.
