Thorn Clarke Sandpiper (Barossa) 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon

Gold Medal - Melbourne International Wine Show

92 Points - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The Sandpiper range is named after the migratory bird which visits the Thorn Clarke vineyards annually from the northern hemisphere - something of a reminder of the tenacity and commitment which is required for long term viticulture.

The Sandpiper Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from several Thorn-Clarke owned vineyards. This wine is produced in a 'fruit forward' style with 12 months in primarily French oak; the wine is ready to be enjoyed now and will comfortably cellar up to 5 years. This Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon displays great lift and intensity of fruit whilst retaining Cabernet varietal character.

Silver Medal - Mundus Vini Spring Tasting

Winery Note
"Deep purple in colour, with bright clarity. Lifted red and dark cherry, black currant, with a savoury twist of thyme, aniseed, dark chocolate, and subtle oak derived notes. Prominent cherry and plum flavours with a mineral crunchiness and energy. The palate has fine, silky tannins with crisp acidity, creating a long, elegant finish. Particularly suited to game meat dishes such as venison and duck, but also a wonderful accompaniment to other red meat dishes.

Vegan wine.

Winesale Exclusive Import

Winery note
"Fruit selected from premium McLaren Vale vineyards. A small percentage of Viognier was included during the fermentation to add brightness to the fruit and enhance tannin length. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation and was then racked into a mixture of large and small format fine grained barrels for the remainder of maturation.

Medium to deep red with a purple hue. Aromas, regional black licorice, toasty oak and ripe raspberry. Layers of toasty oak, anise, dark berry fruit and mouth enveloping velvet tannins. Excellent persistence, recommend decanting on opening for full appreciation"
