Kirrihill Partner Series Cabernet Sauvignon

Kirrihill Partner Series Cabernet Sauvignon

Predominantly from the highly distinguished Schobers Vineyard, where grey loam over limestone soils produce elegant wines with outstanding lifted
fruit. The older section (old Schobers) offers additional concentration and intensity.
TASTING NOTE
Mulberry, leaf and nutty spice aromas lead to a layered palate of dark fruit and savoury herbs, with mouth-filling texture offering great intensity and
richness. Chalky tannins are seamlessly integrated from maturation in French and American oak.
VINIFICATION DETAILS
The Cabernet was cold soaked for 5 days and fermented for 14 days on skins in total. A cool ferment ensured that vibrancy and freshness was
maintained. The wine was pressed off skins to a selection of new French oak and second use French and American oak hogsheads, spending a total
of 20 months in barrel.
AWARDS IWC: Silver

Founded in 1998 by long-time friends and locals, Sean Edwards and Rob Stanway, the focus at Kirrihill is on the pursuit of growing the best quality fruit possible, whilst managing the vineyards sustainably and respecting the individual sites. The micro-climates within the three small valleys that make up the Clare Valley region provide their winemakers with a diversity of fruit selections to produce expressive wines of purity and intrigue, particularly aromatic Rieslings, which speak profoundly of their place.

Sitting atop the ‘Golden Mile’, a stretch of rare terra rossa soil, their highly prized Schobers Vineyard is one of the most distinguished red wine producing vineyards in Australia. Contour planted on rolling hills at the southern tip of Clare Valley, Schobers Vineyard has consistently produced Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines of great complexity, which are rich in concentration with distinctive Clare Valley character.
