MWC Cabernet Sauvignon '22

The 2022 MWC Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich and rustic wine made with a European influence, focusing on soft, savory, and earthy characteristics. It has a deep, dark cherry hue, with aromas of forest floor, plum, and blackcurrant. The palate is filled with notes of black fruits and berries, complemented by elegant oak and a touch of chocolate. This wine is best consumed now through 2032 and pairs excellently with foods such as grass-fed barbequed steak, short ribs, or a spicy salami pizza. The fruit for this wine comes from 17-year-old vines in exceptional vineyard sites in Central Victoria, Goulburn Valley, Yea Valley, and the Strathbogie Ranges. The vineyards are sustainably farmed, with organic principles applied. The wine was fermented in static red fermenters, with regular pump overs during fermentation. After pressing, it aged for 6 to 12 months in French oak barriques before final blending. At 14.5% alcohol, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium-bodied, textured wine with spice and savory elements, making it an ideal pairing for meats, charcuterie, and strong cheeses.
