Amazing Grace Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2018 Amazing Grace sees the introduction of our young vines planted in 2013. The wine shows its typical perfume and refined tannins but with a dash of red fruits and added structure. The young vines have been a breath of fresh air and a welcome addition to our final blend. With distinctive notes of blackcurrant, violets and dried herbs, the wine is bold and rich with a mouthful of dark fruits, liquorice and chocolate. Enjoy now or be patient and see this wine develop to its full potential over the next 8-1-years. Decanting recommended.
