BACKGROUND
Woodstock has enjoyed a strong reputation for Cabernet Sauvignon since 1982. Situated in the higher and cooler end of the Vale, Woodstock is the perfect home for the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. Warm, sunny days with cool gully and evening sea breezes ensure the Cabernet fruit ripens well.
WINEMAKING
There are 4 blocks of Cabernet on the Estate... each providing a unique character to the wine. Low yielding old vines from our Honey Hut block provide palate weight, Block 3 vines provide a hearty back bone, our ,Pineless, Block provides lifted berry characters enhanced by the Creek Block's added leafiness. Yields range from 2.5 to 4 tonnes per acre. Small berries with ample fermentation time on skins result in great colour and tannin structure. This wine was matured for 22 months in 8% new oak and the rest in seasoned American oak to provide softness and complexity
THE WINE
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon shows lots of juicy varietal cassis characters yet a firm and elegant tannin structure. As approachable as it is now, fruit richness, good acidity and tannins will ensure years of careful cellaring
SERVING SUGGESTION
A winter cassoulet with a side serve of fresh rocket leaves tossed in a light vinaigrette.
