"Matured 12 months in new and seasoned French, American and Hungarian oak barrels. A core of glossy, crunchy blackcurrant fruit is backed by licorice and high-cocoa dark chocolate oak. Varietal definition and endurance are captured in an exciting interplay between bright acidity and confident, fine-grained tannin that coast effortlessly through a long finish, promising great things in a decade." 94 Points
"A Barossa Cabernet with a degree of restraint and elegance. Aromas of earthy blackcurrant, with a spicy minty character that seems to speak of this vintage. The palate has a firm feel to it with a fine acidity sustaining the long finish. A tightly held wine so a little time in the cellar will help to bring it around." - Ray Jordan

Barossa Valley, South Australia
Just one hour’s drive from South Australia’s capital, Adelaide, lies its gourmet capital (and wine Mecca), Barossa. One of the country’s most beautiful and historic wine regions, Barossa is a magnet for lovers of fine food and wine. Its classic Mediterranean climate, and free-draining red brown soils, makes the region ideal for growing grapes. Barossa produces excellent Shiraz, Cabernet, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Riesling and Semillon.
Richard Mattner - Winemaker
Growing up in the Barossa Valley, winemaker Richard Mattner was never far from wine. His grandfather's vineyard at the highly-regarded Light Pass district was Richard's playground during the school holidays. Upon leaving school, Richard gained employment as a cellar hand and began a career in the wine industry in 1993. Richard was destined to be a winemaker and in 2004 he graduated from Charles Sturt University with Bachelor of Applied Science (Wine Science). Richard says winemaking is an art and just another way of creatively expressing himself. In addition to his passion for red wine, Richard has a keen interest in all things sports and loves nothing more than to relax with friends and enjoy a char-grilled scotch fillet on the barbeque perfectly matched with a bottle of wine, of course.
