Tasting Tips
Aroma: This is a magic Cabernet nose: ripe mulberry fruit with some leafy hints, but no trace of greenness. Quite classic. Palate:The palate weight is lighter than you expect. The flavours are quite subtle,showing restrained Cabernet berry fruits and gentle oak influences. Fresh acidity makes the finish bright, held up by fine chalky tannins. A very good example of Peel Cabernet destined to develop classic Bordeaux characters as this line does in lighter years. The wine has a long way to go, even though it’s delicious now.
Winery
Peel Estate prides itself on growing premium quality fruit and 2003 vintage was no different. Fruit was crushed immediately after hand picking in late March. Open fermentation on the skins for at least 5 days occurs before pressing, for best development of colour and tannin. For 18 months, half of this wine was matured in new French Oak barrels and the other half in 2nd use French Oak barrels. Before bottling less than 5 of Peel Estate’s premium Shiraz and Touriga was blended with the Cabernet to help create the lovely balance of fruit flavours and complexity that we’ve achieved in this wine.
