50 Year Old Cabernet Sauvignon Vines represents less than 2 of the region plantings. Our vineyard is from the heart of the Valley Floor in Bethany on free draining sandy loam over a deep clay base. This famous sub-region is where the first village was settled in the Barossa Valley and the first vines in the Barossa Valley were planted.WINEMAKINGThe grapes are destemmed but not crushed and spend seven days on their skins in open fermenters with twice daily hand-plunging and pumping over of the cap to more gently extract colour flavours and tannins. This is followed by careful basket pressing and malolactic fermentation in a combination of new and seasoned French barriques prior to 18 months of maturation in our cellars.In keeping with our non-interventionalist winemaking style we neither fine nor filter this wine. SUITABLE FOR VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS

Reviews	96 PointsSam Kim Wine OrbitA terrific Cabernet showcasing classic varietal aromas of blackcurrant tobacco and rich floral with nuances of vanilla cedar and fennel. Its wonderfully weighted and deeply flavoured with beautifully infused chalky tannins finishing superbly long and satisfying. At its best 2027 to 2040.95 PointsRay Jordan Wine PilotThis is a quite beautiful example of Barossa cabernet. Its medium to full-bodied and quite generous but there is that cabernet structural feature that holds the line with the firmish fine tannins and neatly integrated oak. Lots of those blackcurrant dark chocolate and black olive characters speak cabernet. Its focused balanced and precisely delivered through to its long finish. Excellent wine. Cellar 20 Years94 PointsKen Gargett Wine PilotWe tend to think of the Barossa Valley as overflowing with ancient gnarly old vines but in truth they are a rare and precious commodity. Cabernet vines in excess of fifty years of age represent just 2 of the plantings in the region. Those that provided the fruit for this wine come from the Bethany sub-region. Maturation was for a period of a year and a half in a mix of new and older French oak barriques.Gleaming dark magenta in colour the nose revolves around notes of mocha cassis licorice chocolate and mulberries which are supported by aromas of tobacco leaves and plums. Good concentration and balance throughout and we see notes of black fruits and spices emerging on the palate along with some savoury touches of mushrooms and coffee grinds. Very good length here through to satiny tannins the plushness found in the texture is a highlight. Enjoy over the next ten to fifteen years.92 PointsDave Brookes Halliday Wine CompanionDeep crimson with aromas of blackberry black cherry and blackcurrant pastille with hints of fruitcake spice crushed herbs tobacco cedar dark chocolate violets licorice and earth. A swell of cassis and kirsch on the palate with superfine ripe tannins a sweep of sour cherry blackcurrant pastille and a suggestion of bitter herbs. The flavours stretch out nicely on the exit. Drink by 204090 PointsHuon Hooke The Real ReviewDeep red with a good tint of purple and slighty jammy ripeness in its aromas of squishy berries. the palate diffuse and broad and falling a bit short with some vegetable flavours coming through. The tannins are grippy and very drying on the finish. Needs time andor protein. 2026-2037

Tasting Notes

Deep magenta with a vibrant nose of dark fruit chocolate vanilla and cinnamon aromas. An exotic and full-bodied palate driven by flavours of fruits of the forest blackcurrant and a hint of savoury spice bound together by succulent fine-grained tannins. A wine of great length that will reward many years in the cellar.
