Dense, dark red to black colour of great intensity. An intense and rich bouquet led by the ripest cassis and berry fruits, rich and opulent but brooding in its youth. Behind the primary fruits are distinctive vineyard characteristics of dark chocolate and mint. The oak is background cedar which will recede further as the fruits emerge with some bottle age. This vineyard consistently produces intense fleshy and full mid palate Cabernet with massive fruit weight with dark cherry and blackcurrant flavours. At the time of writing the wine is very youthful and tight but it still has ample fruit sweetness that will only become more accessible as the wine matures in bottle. This is a big full wine with ample flavour and concentration in the classic Margaret River tradition. Bancroft note
Grower's Profile: Hay Shed Hill
Bancroft Wines is delighted to be working once again with one of Australiaís foremost winemakers, Michael Kerrigan. Michael has had a prestigious career in winemaking, having spent over 12 years as Chief winemaker at Howard Park and Madfish; both of which were first launched into the UK market with great success by Bancroft Wines. First planted in 1973, the Hay Shed Hill vineyard has the mission of producing world class wines that reflect the place of their origin; wines of depth and flavour that are true to region and true to the vineyard. The Hay Shed Hill wines are vineyard selected and nurtured in the winery to allow the true character of the site to be expressed. Typical cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc Semillon aromas of lively tropical fruits and fresh herbaceous grassy characters make up an intense, crisp and refreshing wine. The Chardonnay exhibits fresh cut pear and honeydew melon aromas with some zesty citric notes. The Shiraz Tempranillo is a fascinating blend of violets and spicy, black pepper notes of the Shiraz with the more savoury licorice aromas from the Tempranillo. The Cabernet Sauvignon has an intense and rich bouquet led by the ripest cassis and berry fruits. Behind the primary fruits are distinctive vineyard characteristics of dark chocolate and mint, with cedar oak notes on the finish.
