2002 Barossa Carriages Cabernet Sauvignon

A concentrated aroma of violets, blackberry and cassis combine with flavours of vanilla, cherries and ripe tannins to convey a well balanced, full flavoured Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon wine of distinction.

Selected bunches of premium Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a single Barossa vineyard were picked on 8 April 2002, crushed and fermented in open vats for 7 days, basket pressed followed by malolactic fermentation in American and French oak hogshead barrels for 61 days.

This 2002 Hartz Barn Wines Barossa Carriages Cabernet Sauvignon wine was racked and returned to the American oak and French oak barrels for 12 months maturation before bottling on 10th April 2003.

Reviews

Medium to deep purple red in colour. The nose is distinctly in the earthy/coffee spectrum. The palate is textured with firm tannins and rich cassis fruit. Structurally the wine is beautifully powerful yet refined with finely grained tannins giving the wine a real presence and elegance; the fruit ripeness adding underlying richness. Two to six years of cellaring will allow the wine to integrate beautifully.” 90/100.
