Cabernet Sauvignon
Ref: A115802
A complex blackcurrant fruit melds with integrated oak and fine, soft tannins.

The Willows Vineyard, situated at Light Pass in the Barossa Valley, has roots that go back to the beginning of this historic grape growing region. Johann Gottfried Scholz (one of the early Silesian colonists) settled this property in 1845.

Today, still in the care of the Scholz family, the vineyard established in 1936 has become the prime focus for this historic property.

The wines are 100% Barossan and sourced entirely from our a single vineyard at Light Pass.

This Cabernet Sauvignon is an impressive Barossa style exhibiting the richness and warmth of fruit one would expect from the region, along with the particular mint and eucalypt tones which have become a hallmark of The Willows Vineyard Cabernets. The vineyard grows along the banks of the North Para River and the fruit is harvested late in the season when the flavours are fully developed , tannins are ripe and sugar levels are high.

This is a wine of great varietal flavour, combining stylish and elegant fruit characters along with rich chocolate hints which are associated with good Barossa reds. Extended maturation in American and French oak hogsheads over two years has helped create a long, soft, silky texture.

The palate's complexity of blackcurrant, fruit, integrated oak and fine ripe tannins combine to make this a wine of immediate appeal, whilst its length and structure indicate a cellaring potential of five years or more.
