From Mountadam’s Eden Valley estate, the 2021 Five Fifty Cabernet Sauvignon is a cool-climate expression with structure and aging potential. The Five Fifty line aims for balance, delivering dark fruit with restrained oak and a refined, drinkable profile. Food-friendly and versatile, it pairs well with grilled beef, game, and mushroom dishes, and should evolve with careful decanting over several years.
