This multi-award winning treasure from South Australia’s Langhorne Creek is vibrant and deep garnet in colour with a blackberry, earthy eucalypt mint and subtle violet scent. It’s dripping with succulent blueberry and blackcurrant flavours alongside five spice and mint chocolate. French oak characters join seamlessly with juicy, tight tannins giving the wine persistent flavour and elegance. If you have the patience to cellar it, this cabernet will continue to improve and soften for another 10 years or more.

Picked later than Side by Side (1-4 Apr),matured for 18 months in French puncheons, and is a fine example of medium-bodied Langhorne Creek cabernet, with supple fruit in a cassis spectrum, plus a bay leaf/black olive nuance needed for fruit complexity. Needless to say, the tannins are soft.
Winemaker Notes

The Brothers in Arms ‘Metala’ Vineyards are the oldest family-owned Cabernet Sauvignon vines remaining in the world. The Metala homestead was established in 1882 and the old cabernet vineyards were planted in 1891.
