Pertaringa Rifle & Hunt Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Region: McLaren Vale
Story: Rifle and Hunt sounds like the beginning of a tale from an early hunting expedition, but the story is really not that complicated. It's more like directions rather than a name, with the Pertaringa property being on the corner of Rifle Range and Hunt Roads in McLaren Vale!
Vineyard: The Symonds vineyard is located on Hahn Rd in the Whites Valley subregion of McLaren Vale. This area is very flat and is located between Willunga and Sellicks Hill so has more coastal influence than many of the other vineyards we source from.
Winemaking: Crushed and destemmed. Open 5 tonne capacity stainless steel fermenter. 8 days on skins. French oak hogsheads, 20% new oak for 19 months.
Nose:The nose delivers currant, cedar and leather.
Palate:The palate shows rich, dense cassis fruit and lifted spice and herbal notes. Structured tannin length allows for a lovely balance of power and balance.
Cellaring: Drink now to 2033

"This is deep maroon in colour with aromas of tobacco leaves, dry herbs, dark berries, mushrooms, leather, chocolate, and a flick of well-integrated oak. The wine is well balanced, with fine acidity, decent grip, and good length. Further notes of mulberries and chocolate emerge on the palate. Will drink very well for the next ten to twelve years."
