LEEUWIN ESTATE Prelude Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River

Discover this earthy Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of dark red fruits, plums and spicy notes, which are complemented by fine tannins leaving a smooth finish.

The best Margaret River reds are true cellaring propositions, and this absolutely delicious Reserve-grade Shiraz from Evans & Tate is no exception.Deep, dark red. Savoury dark berry fruit with woody herbs and cedar oak. Minty blackcurrant and raspberry core depth in a mid-weight, intense and spicy frame, remaining youthful and primary with bright acidity and chalky tannins. Still a baby.

Machine harvested at night , crushed and de-stemmed, pressed to French oak (25% new and the balance in staves) for 12 months. This is classic cooler climate Shiraz with beautiful perfumes on the nose and lovely fleshy fruit flavours on the palate, the tannins are soft and generous combining to give the wine a well structured finish.

This vintage was co-fermented with 7.5% viognier to give the shiraz a more intensely perfumed bouquet and silkier texture. The palate has a wonderfully dry texture which gives a savoury character to the shiraz: dark plum, briary, brambly flavous and a fleshy, almost silky texture and a long, dry finish of considerable length.

This wine is a classic expression of cool climate Shiraz with dark plum, sweet spice and fine tannins.
