The Wild Plum, Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, 2020, Langhorne Creek, Bleasdale

When a Wild Plum tree appeared near our Cabernet and Merlot vines a few years ago, no one questioned it. Planted on a natural floodplain, the old Bleasdale vineyards share the land with native and wild fruit trees, grown from seeds that wash in from upstream. As it is with the Wild Plum tree that gives its name to this Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend.

A rich and full flavoured wine with deep colour and dark brooding fruit aromas. Blackberry and currant aromas with blood plum and savoury herbs, underscored with dark toasty oak tannin.
