Frederick Stevenson Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from 1960s planted vines situated in Vine Vale, Barossa Valley. Currently tended to by Wayne Ahrens and Suzie Hilder. The label, much like the wine, is a nostalgic throwback to some labels of old and features the heritage listed church that we use as our winery and sometimes cellar door – “Oddio” in Bowden, Adelaide. 6-7 weeks on skins. 2nd use french oak for 14 months on lees. 2 months in stainless steel prior to bottle. The intent was to create a luncheon claret styled wine, that has nice balance of fruit weight, tannin and acidity, without being too dense, dark and tough.  378 Bottles Produced. Producer’s Notes
