Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 – Black Market Deal #35682
- Medium bodied
- Great Southern
This medium-bodied cabernet is sourced entirely from a little vineyard in Great Southern that is renowned for punching well above its weight. It spends a fair bit of time in oak, but what it draws from this ageing period has already fully integrated into the wine. There’s vivid and complex fruit to balance this, leaning towards blackcurrant, backed up by typical varietal eucalpyt and a compelling herbaceous tone.

Region
Great Southern
Great Southern is, believe it or not, the country's largest wine region at 200km east to west, and 100km north to south. No surprise then, that the countryside and climate changes dramatically from end to end, and that there are five subregions: maritime Albany; neighbouring Denmark; Frankland River, favouring Bordeaux reds; cooler Mount Barker renowned for stunning Riesling; and even cooler, granitic, continental Porongorup where Cabernet defers to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. As a large region to source from, variety and style can vary immensely, but you can count on quality, as there are so many great vines to choose from.
