Peccavi 'The Estate' Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, Margaret River

The Estate range represents the pinnacle of Peccavi's vineyard and winemaking philosophy. Sourced exclusively from the finest vineyard parcels of Peccavi Estate in Margaret River, these wines are produced only in vintages where the fruit meets our uncompromising standards of quality, balance and character. Every bunch is hand-harvested, meticulously hand-sorted and crafted in exceptionally small batches using state-of-the-art boutique winemaking equipment, allowing each parcel to be vinified with absolute precision. Combining exceptional Bordeaux clonal material, sustainable vineyard stewardship and careful maturation in the finest French oak, The Estate wines are built for longevity while remaining unmistakably Margaret River in style. Powerful yet refined, they express purity of fruit, elegance, structure and a profound sense of place, rewarding both immediate enjoyment and decades of careful cellaring. Only wines that faithfully express the character and provenance of Peccavi Estate earn the right to carry The Estate label. Tasting Note: Peccavi's top level cabernet bucks the Australian trend, for it's based on quality and purity of expression rather than additional ripeness, oak or extract. A heady, essential perfume of cassis, redcurrants, raspberries and dark plums backed by suggestion of dried herbs, minerals and blueberries is deftly supported by gentle cedar/cignarboxyoak. It's plush and luxuriant but emplashises purity and elegance as it glides down a pliant but chalky spine of grainy tannins, culminating in a lingering finish of remarkable length and balance. - Jeremy Oliver Ratings: Gold Medal Decanter DWWA 2023 ALC (%): 13.5 Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Volume available: 750 ml
