Punch
2005 Reserve Cabernet SauvignonPunch is named after a hard working Clydesdale horse who worked the land now planted to our vineyards until the late 1940’s.
Punch Cabernet Sauvignon joins our Eliza Shiraz as our benchmark in these varieties and we have named these wines in acknowledgment of the contribution of the early pioneers of viticulture in McLaren Vale.
Limited Production - Only produced in years of exceptional quality
GOLD MEDAL WINNER!
Vineyard: McLaren Vale has a Mediterranean climate with a generous growing season allowing full flavour development in all grape varieties. Our Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on deep alluvial loam and we have selected the best parcels to produce Punch. Moderate soil fertility & minimal irrigation result in low yields of high quality.
Colour: Rich purple hues of vintage are mellowing into the deep red, which comes with oak maturation & maturity.
Nose: The nose exhibits small berry fruit aromas of black cherries and black currents with a hint of mint and pepper.
Palate: The first impression on the palate is of richness and depth, further exploration shows layers of toasty oak characters and some dark chocolate flavours. The structure and texture is mouth filling with great length.
