2022 Patrick of Coonawarra 'Methode Eucalypt' Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Welcome to ED.03 of our Méthode Eucalypt. After the raging success of previous vintages, we are so excited to release the next vintage. This trial tests the hypothesis that vineyards amongst gum trees take on some aroma and flavour of Eucalyptus. Grapes were mechanically harvested in close proximity to Red Gums into 1T bins. The resultant wine showed significantly increased Eucalyptus aroma and flavour. This matured into a distinctly Australian Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses the environment and place in which it was grown. Balanced minty/Eucalyptus aromas and flavours add to the Cabernet Sauvignon’s complexity, creating a uniquely Australian wine. It is a wine that expresses terroir in the true sense of the word.   Winemaking VARIETY/VARITIES: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon REGION: Coonawarra  HARVEST DATE: 21st April 2021  HARVEST BAUME: 13.8 BOTTLING DATE: 18th January 2022 BOTTLING ANALYSIS  Alcohol: 13.5 TA: 6.3 pH: 3.56 MATURATION: 8 Months in used French oak Barriques WINE STYLE: Rich, earthy with a hint of spice COLOR: Vibrant crimson WINE MAKER: Luke Tocaciu
