Bec Hardy Pertaringa Rifle & Hunt Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 McLaren Vale - 6 Bottles

Product Description

WINERY INFORMATION

Pertaringa is part of the Bec Hardy Wines portfolio, a family-owned winery based in McLaren Vale. The Pertaringa vineyards were originally established in 1980 by renowned South Australian vigneron Geoff Hardy, who co-founded the site with Ian Leask. The name “Scarecrow” pays tribute to the scarecrows once used to keep birds away from the family’s vineyards. Today, the Pertaringa range continues under the ownership and direction of Geoff’s daughter, Bec Hardy, who upholds the family’s legacy with a modern and sustainable approach to winemaking. 

TASTING NOTES

This gorgeous Rifle & Hunt Cabernet Sauvignon shows a dark ruby colour with magenta shades. The fragrant nose is perfumed with clean and beautiful scents of black currants, pepper, mint, cherry tomatoes and smoky tobacco. The smooth palate is rife with complex flavours of blueberries, blackcurrants, coffee, and eucalyptus. These great characters are supported by firm tannins, eventually ending the wine in an extended finale. With a cellaring potential of twelve years, this delightful Cab Sauv can also be enjoyed fresh upon release. It is a great food accompaniment to truffle-infused polenta and slowly cooked lamb shanks.
