Maxwell Lime Cave Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

The wine takes its name from a 60 metre long man-made cave. Dug to grow mushrooms in 1916 into the solid limestone hill that is now home to the estate vineyards. The hut-like entrance to the Lime Cave is depicted in the Maxwell of McLaren Vale logo. Above this cave, on the crest of the hill, there are 19 rows of “Reynella Selection” Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Planted in 1972, these vines originate from those brought into South Australia by John Reynell over 150 years ago.

Colour and Aroma
Dark purple in colour with aromas of classic Cabernet featuring cassis and blackcurrant.

Palate
A generous palate with red currant, cranberry and cherry with integrate cedar oak. Flavours are persistent on the finish with soft tannins.

Cellaring Potential
Given satisfactory cellaring conditions, it is expected this wine will drink particularly well at around 6 to 8 years of age.
