Description
This delightful red is a rich, full bodied classically style Cabernet. The colour is a deep red and the aroma is classic Cabernet Sauvignon—cassis, dark berry and chocolate. These flavours continue onto the palate that has a very rich, yet silky smooth mouthfeel. It is well rounded and the tannins add weight and structure to the wine without dominating the primary fruit flavours.

 Fruit quality for this vintage was considered excellent although yields were very low compared to previous years. After crushing and de-stemming the fruit, the juice was fermented on skins in both traditional and modern fermenters, before being transferred to new American and French oak hogsheads to complete fermentation. The wine then spent 16 months maturation in the same oak barrels.

 Origin
Wolf Blass has been producing some of Australia’s finest wines for nearly 40 years.  Each vintage, those parcels of fruit that display concentrated flavours and richness, are selected to be released under the Presidents Selection label. They represent the very best the winery has to offer each year! The fruit used for this wonderful red was selected from sites in South Australia...Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale, and the Barossa Valley.

Food Parings
Ideal with roasted meats and more classic French dishes. Would hold up well with complex reduction sauces and assertive seasoning.
