Elura Elura Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon
“Still youthful and drinking exceptionally well, these bottles are worth seeking out for a chance to taste Cabernet at its developing best, but with at least another ten years to go: loads of vibrant primary blackcurrant/cassis fruit, secondary vanilla oak and tertiary flavours of leather and forest floor. Dreamy.” – Melissa Moore, Sommelier. These rare bottles are closed with the original ‘Gundowringla’ cork of our parents’ label and each bottle is individually hand-dipped in wax by Brendan. The 2002 Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon was Mark’s first ever vintage at Gundowring. We rediscovered a small quantity of these bottles while moving stock and having sampled several bottles were delighted that they are drinking exceptionally well, with fresh fruit balanced by soft tannins. With Trudi and Ian’s blessing we’ve labeled them under the Elura label. FOOD & WINE MATCHING Elura’s 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is a food wine ideally complements rich and bold red meat flavours, hearty casseroles or cured meats. Best decanted. CELLARING With 20+ years in cellar already, this Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking well now and has cellaring potential of another 10+ years.
Cabernets
Ripe red fruits, dusty tannin, savoury herbs from balancing Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This is a tribute to classic claret with satiating impressions of autumn leaves and sage. Juicy, comforting and best enjoyed with friends.
