Kirrihill Partner Series Cabernet Sauvignon

There sure is plenty of Gold in these hills – Kirrihill’s that is. To be more precise the foothills at the north eastern end of the Clare Valley in South Australia.

They’ve been winning Gold under this label, produced from grapes sourced entirely from specially selected vineyards, since the late 90s. The Partner Series is named after the partners of the company – so it’s got to be flash stuff to have their names on it!

Outstanding quality fruit, top vineyards, aged a whopping 20 months in oak and a super talented winemaker in Andrew Locke – an ex-Rosemount estate winemaker. This is a real belter of a Cabernet that’s done well on the wine review circuit on both sides of the ditch…

“Stunning wine. Elegant, long, Super fine and ripe mid palate tannin. Glossy fruit. Huge flavour persistence.”

93/100 & Top Rank (Aaron Brasher, The Real Review)
“The palate is dark, layered and youthful. Plum, blackberry, iodine and dark cherry, there’s real power in the flavour profile and plenty of complexity. A long life ahead.”

Ready to go now or will sit nicely in the cellar comfortably for a decade or more.
