Normans Holbrooks Road Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

From Normans, the Holbrooks Road Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a deep red-purple red wine with a fruit-led style and a savoury edge. Lush aromas of red berries sit alongside subtle pepper and oak notes, leading into a rich, mouth-filling palate that stays focused on ripe red berry character. Varietal hints of capsicum add definition, while clean tannins bring a savoury structure and a polished finish.

Soft oak is only just noticeable on tasting, yet it contributes extra length and balance, keeping the overall impression driven by fruit.

Winemaking

The fruit was picked in the cool of night, then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for seven days to retain natural fruit flavour. Warm early fermentation temperatures and three days of post-ferment maceration helped develop soft, fleshy fruit and tannins while building structure. After pressing, clarification and final blending, the wine was matured, with select parcels having contact with mature French oak.
