D'arenberg The High Trellis Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
The Name
This vineyard was planted in the 19th century, and received its nickname as it was the first in the region to be trained above knee height.
Over the past four decades, Cabernet Sauvignon from the High Trellis vineyard has been released under the d'Arenberg label to consistent critical acclaim, and won the coveted Jimmy Watson trophy at the 1969 Melbourne Wine Show.
The Wine
It's medium bodied and acid driven, with loads of black currant, black berry and liquorice flavours.
The finish is long, and supple, with plenty of spice to boot!
