This 2015 Palladian Cabernet is the finest example of Palladian so far with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes entirely in French Oak barrels from the very beginning with destemming the chilled grapes straight into the new French Oak barrels and fermenting, rolling and plunging then maturing the wine in the same barrels.
The wine has definitely taken on an extra dimension and lifted a level with texture and oak integration making the wine more seamless on the palate.

Catalog:
Region:
Cellaring:
A wine that will give many a lot of pleasure and will develop further complexity for up to 15 years.
Oak:
20 months in large format 500L puncheons as the barrels of choice.
Nose:
A little riper and more concentrated than it’s
predecessors there is more intensity of dark berries
this time with dusty blackberries and cedar and
graphite to the fore.
Palate:
It is a beautifully textured wine
with an impossibly long finish but has restraint and
elegance inside its slender frame. The body is a little
fuller and could be described as medium to full bodied.
The balance and seamless nature is extraordinary given
that it’s 100 % pure Cabernet Sauvignon
