Product Description

Winery Background

The Long Row range from Angove showcases approachable, fruit-driven wines that highlight the character of South Australia’s Riverland. Crafted by one of Australia’s most respected family-owned wineries, this collection reflects more than a century of winemaking expertise and a focus on quality and value. The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon captures the warmth and generosity of the Riverland region while retaining elegance and balance.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

Fruit for this wine was sourced from select vineyards along the fertile banks of the Murray River in South Australia’s Riverland. The 2022 growing season was marked by a cool spring and a mild, dry summer, which provided ideal conditions for even ripening and vibrant fruit flavours. The combination of warm days and cool nights allowed the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to develop deep colour, ripe tannins, and lifted aromatics while maintaining natural acidity.

Winemaking

Harvested at optimum ripeness, the fruit was crushed and fermented on skins in temperature-controlled stainless-steel fermenters to extract rich colour and varietal character. Gentle pump-overs during fermentation ensured soft tannin development and a balanced structure. After fermentation, a portion of the wine was matured in seasoned French and American oak barrels, adding complexity and a hint of spice while preserving the vibrant fruit profile typical of Riverland Cabernet.
