This restrained, well balanced expression of McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon is an ode to the ‘luncheon claret’, but it’s not as green and austere as that favorite lunchtime libation at the gentleman’s club. Early picked fruit from a vineyard with good breeding in the Willunga foothills results in an elegant, varietal style with classic First Drop drinkability.

There is no firm evidence of how cheese making was discovered, but legend tells us it was likely by chance that someone created the first cheese. Thousands of years ago, people transported milk and stored it in sheep’s stomachs. Left to sit a few days, the proteins would separate into curds and whey. From there, preserving the solids with salt may have seemed a logical next step. Salt was a highly valued preservative in ancient times.
The earliest record of cheese making dates back to 5,500 BCE in what is now Poland. Today there are over 1,400 varieties of cheese.So celebrate the magic that is cheese and use this resource to try to make pairing a little easier.
Dark ruby red, a pungent, intricate nose of red fruits, earth and spice layered with lifted berry fruit. Fleshy red fruits, on a bed of soft cedar tannins, with a spicy, refreshing finish.
