Description

Simple, fresh, cassis and plums with a hint of wild herbs. The palate is plush and really sculpted. This is great drinking for right now. I’d match with beef stew.

Witchmount sprang into fame winning the Syrah du Monde competition almost 10 years ago and seemed to disappear just as quickly. They are back on the radar with a range of great value wines from Rockbank (southern Border of Sunbury). There is a lot to love here.

Cabernet Sauvignon – The noble variety of Bordeaux’s left bank. Firm tannins, a streak of acidity and punctuated by flavours of cassis, violets, spice and leather. The best examples can age for the long term. Although Cabernet does often require blending with Merlot, Cabernet Franc or Shiraz to fix the hole it has in its middle palate.
