Winemaking: A select parcel of fruit was used to make this 2016 Cabernet, sourced from one of McLaren Vale’s premium vineyards. The grapes were crushed and destemmed before being cold soaked for 3 days prior to fermentation. This allowed for slow and soft extraction of colour. The wine was then heated up to 18 degrees and fermented in an open top fermenter for 7 days. The fruit was pumped over 3 times daily every 8 hours to ensure maximum exposure to skins and seeds to get the good depth of colour and tannin profile we see in this wine. The wine was then pressed to a combination of stainless steel tanks and 25% new French and American oak. The wine went through a secondary fermentation phase and remained in oak for 12 months before being blended, and filtered prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes:

Colour:  Deep Purple

Nose:  Earthy, leafy, mint and Eucalyptus notes are present early making way for notes of currants and oak. 

Palate: Very fruit forward on the palate, black plum, currants and raspberries are really well balanced with the oak. There is a lovely fine tannin structure to this wine allowing the fruit to be the hero. This wine has great length, fruit flavours lingering before disappearing with a soft velvety finish.  

Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.

Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine. 

Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:

  • Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
  • What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).

Pickups on all items are encouraged.
