23 May Wine of the month: 2014 Chaff Mill Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine of the month: 2014 Chaff Mill Cabernet Sauvignon

When its starting to come in a little cold, we love nothing more than sitting down to a nice big glass of Cab Sauv and to be honest, the 2014 Chaff Mill is one of our favourites.

THE VINES:

 The Cabernet fruit bunches are smaller than most of our vines and more spindly, which makes for a more concentrated wine.

The vines are some of our oldest at around 70 years old, giving the wine great complexity and depth of flavour.

THE WINE:

The varietal aromas shine through with blackberry, green capsicum and dusty notes adding complexity.

The palate is full but balanced; the chalky tannins give this wine a gnarly palate grip.

Excellent cellar life potential, can be put down for approximately 15 years.

AWARD:

Double Gold at the China Wine and Spirit Awards.

FUN FACT:

Our beautiful little, ironstone cellar door was once upon a time a Chaff Mill and that’s where the name for this stunning wine originates! Previous to that is was a quaint cottage that was built in the early 1800’s.

FOOD:

Pair with Smokey American Pork Ribs with Rustic Coleslaw.

The Chaff Mill Cabernet Sauvignon is on tasting at our cellar door, 7 days per week (9am – 4pm), and available to purchase through our website here – we have a six pack special running until the end of February. Order yours now…
