2022 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: 2022 Higher than average rainfall over winter followed by a warm and dry spring resulting in even bud burst and a textbook start for the vintage. A cool but relatively dry summer gave us beautiful even ripening conditions. This slow ripening allows great flavour development and retention of natural acidity.

Nose: Bright aromas of red currant, cassis, blueberry, and raspberry mingle with savoury hints of tobacco, roasted bell peppers, sage, and thyme, creating a layered and intriguing bouquet. 

Palate: A lively medley of red fruits is enriched by notes of tamarind, sage, and a touch of cedar. The wine's refined structure and depth offer a seamless and well-balanced 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
