Botham 80 Series Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon - Australia
This stunning wine has highly concentrated fruit characters and rich flavours combined with integrated oak and ripe balanced tannins, having the ability to age gracefully for up to 7 years.
The colour of this special Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is intense deep ruby red with purple hues. There is a great depth of rich fruit with typical Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics of black cherry, mulberry, aromatic cedar, touches of mint, pepper and earthiness combine with integrated French oak.
This is a full-bodied wine with a highly structured palate of balanced tannins and a fine acidity which produces a wine of great intensity, complexity, and length.
Vineyards
This wine is sourced from vineyards in Coonawarra, 400 km south- east of Adelaide in South Australia. The region is famed for its Terra Rossa soil of red-brown clay loam over limestone. Together with the climate that is ameliorated in summer from the cooling effects of the Southern ocean, the terroir provides outstanding conditions for premium white and red wines. Vines are trained on a single wire trellis and hand pruned to produce the moderate cropping levels required for consistently high quality.
Winemaking Notes
The key to the quality of this wine is in the decision on when flavours are optimal for harvest. We look for ripe cassis flavours, with fine tannins and mature brown seeds which will eventually help build structure in the wine. Fruit commences its journey to wine through fermentation on skins in a range of small stainless steel fermenters to gently extract the colour and fruit flavours until all of the sugar is consumed and some parcels are left to gain extra complexity. Following pressing and racking, French oak then plays its part in adding an extra dimension to the fruit, during which the wine clarifies slowly to allow the remaining yeast to aid in building palate structure.
Wine Style
We strive for a round, richly flavoured wine in which the oak provides a more subliminal, but complexing, role to the purity of the fruit.
