Shinas Estate 'The Verdict' Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

This year sees an addition of a touch of Shiraz and highlights subtle warmth and spice, followed by a core of cassis, black cherry, and redcurrant. Fine tannins, fresh acidity, and restrained oak lend the wine an effortless balance, finishing with emphasis and roundness leading to a long, lingering finish.

86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Shiraz. 

The grapes were picked on flavor at optimum ripeness, fermented whole-berry in open-top stainless steel tanks. After an average of ten days on skins, the wine was pressed to a mix of used 300L French and American oak barrels where it aged for 12 months.  At that point, the wine was racked to tank where it settled naturally without any fining and bottled unfiltered and with a nominal sulfur addition.

Just 950 cases were produced.
