Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
Cabernet Sauvignon is widely regarded as the king of red grape varieties. Its origins lie along the Gironde in the renowned Chateau country of south-west France, where it is the major component in the esteemed red wines of the area – Claret. The parents of cabernet sauvignon are cabernet franc and sauvignon blanc. When grown in cool grape growing regions, cabernet sauvignon is typified by deep rich colour, alluring berry aromas on the nose and a deeply flavoured elegant palate with a long, firm finish.
This concentrated red wine would make a great partner to Venison Bourguignon with roasted potatoes in their jackets. It could also be enjoyed with a selection of aged cheddar cheese at the end of a meal.

Fruit for the 2022 Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from several vineyards in Victoria. The Bendigo region makes up 61%, along with Yarra Valley 30% and King Valley 9% to round out the blend of outstanding vineyards.
The fruit was harvested in early April 2022 at a baumé level of 13.4 to 14.0. The wine was destemmed and crushed to open top fermenters in the Kindergarten Winery. The wine spent 16 months in 39% new, and the balance older French oak barriques. A number of blending trials took place to produce a very intense and powerful wine from low yielding vines. The wine was bottled with an alcohol of 13.5%.
