2021 K1 Cabernet Sauvignon

Adelaide Hills

Story: Our Cabernet Sauvignon is from the front hill of the vineyard on either side of the tree-lined driveway. This variety is always of very consistent and exceptional quality at K1, generating wines of pure and generous varietal expression with the best vintages seeming to last forever for those who like a classic, mature, Cabernet Sauvignon.

Vintage: 2021 was an outstanding vintage for the Adelaide Hills. A wet Spring and early budburst conditions were ideal for flowering and fruit of most varieties. The ripening period remained mild giving the fruit extended time on the vine to achieve excellent flavour and ripeness balance with good levels of natural acidity.

Nose: Aromas of red currant and raspberry are intertwined with notes of tobacco and roasted bell peppers. These scents create a complex and inviting bouquet. 

Palate: The palate reveals red fruit flavours complemented by tamarind, cedar and sage. This combination offers a balanced and nuanced tasting experience. 

Food Pairings: Pair this Cabernet with a hearty Irish lamb stew. The wine's rich red fruit and subtle spice notes enhance, the savoury, slow cooked flavours of the lamb and vegetables. Click For Recipe
