Product Description

Winery Background

Established in 1886, Angove Family Winemakers is a fifth-generation, family-owned winery in South Australia. Renowned for its commitment to organic and sustainable viticulture, Angove produces wines that reflect the purity of their fruit and the integrity of their environment. The Organic Shiraz Cabernet is crafted from certified organic vineyards, ensuring minimal intervention and a true expression of the terroir.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The 2023 vintage benefited from optimal growing conditions in South Australia, with warm days and cool nights that allowed the grapes to ripen evenly. The Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were sourced from organically certified vineyards, ensuring that no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers were used. This approach results in wines that are not only environmentally friendly but also rich in flavor and character.

Winemaking

The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented separately to preserve the distinct characteristics of each varietal. After fermentation, the wines were blended and aged to achieve a harmonious balance between the boldness of Shiraz and the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. Minimal intervention practices were employed throughout the winemaking process to maintain the organic integrity of the wine.
