Sons of Eden Eurus Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
This classic wine is the Sons of Eden offering to Eurus, Greek God of the East Wind, and is only made in exemplary vintages when Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displays outstanding quality. Eden Valley is typically cooled in the mornings and evenings by Easterly gully winds which are ideal for slowing the ripening and refining varietal flavours.
The fruit was handpicked and 100% de-stemmed into an open top fermenter, where it remained for 18 days. Naturally fermented and hand plunged daily then pressed to a mix of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads for maturation. Matured in barrel for 20 months with no racking, before being clarified and bottled without filtration.
Deep crimson in colour, with an alluring mix of black currants, violets and spiced-cedar aromas. The well-structured and focused palate displays richness and complexity. A wine with excellent ‘bones’ which will mature gracefully for many years to come.
Black currants, wild berries, crushed herbs, dried currant leaves, cedar and raw coffee beans on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, with mellow dark fruit and minty, spicy notes. Tannins are creamy and supple with a velvety-textured finish. - James Suckling, 93 Points.
