Product Description

Product Description
Macaw Creek Reserve Mt Lofty Ranges Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a premium estate-grown wine crafted from organically grown fruit in the Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia. Produced only in the finest vintages, this Reserve release is 100% basket pressed and made in limited quantities to showcase the exceptional quality of the vineyard. Rich, elegant and beautifully structured, it is a classic expression of cool-climate Cabernet Sauvignon with excellent ageing potential.

Region & Vintage Conditions
The 2019 vintage in the Mount Lofty Ranges enjoyed a warm, dry growing season balanced by cool evening temperatures, allowing the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to ripen slowly while retaining freshness and varietal character. These favourable conditions produced fruit with concentrated blackcurrant flavours, vibrant acidity and finely structured tannins, creating a wine of depth and balance.

Winemaking Techniques
The fruit was hand-selected and traditionally 100% basket pressed, a signature of the Macaw Creek Reserve range. Careful maturation in quality oak enhanced complexity, texture and structure while allowing the vineyard's distinctive fruit expression to remain the focal point. Produced in limited quantities, this Reserve Cabernet reflects meticulous craftsmanship from vineyard to bottle.
