$413.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Original owner Duke Ranson’s favourite varietal because Cabernet was the first wine he tasted as a youth that turned him into a wine lover – hence the name of this wine. Savoury and earthy, powered by red berry fruit and finely integrated tannins, this premium Cabernet Sauvignon is a tightly wound gem from our tiny Houghton clonal planting. Lots of ageing potential. Very limited supply.

Appearance: medium-deep magenta, bright ruby edges

Aroma: red cherry, cranberry, yellow plum, raspberry, savoury umami, cinnamon stick, candied red apple, dried red rose petals, graphite, red licorice

Palate: refined, long, densely powerful, and tightly coiled, bright red currant core, succulent and juicy, cranberry, wild raspberry, refined, crushed rose petal, silky, powdery, chalky tannins, complete with great width and persistence, saltbush, crushed Himalayan salt, poised, focused with great energy and verve

95 points, The Real Review
Deep and bright purple-red colour; a serious bouquet of cedar/cigarbox and cassis, beautifully ripe fruit and understated use of oak. The tannins are fine and persistent, the palate long. The depth of flavour is impressive, the structure serious and Bordeaux-like. No leafiness at all. This is classy cabernet.

About Dukes Vineyard

Duke’s Vineyard is an award-winning, ten-hectare vineyard in the cool-climate Great Southern wine region of Western Australia producing dry Rieslings, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The vineyard is a unique site that sits at the feet of the ancient granite Porongurup peaks and has views of the Stirling Range to the north. It is characterised by warm ripening days and cooler nights tempered with maritime breezes.

Duke and Hilde Ranson established the vineyard in 1999 and proceeded to garner many top wine awards including the Halliday Wine of the Year in 2019 for the 2017 Magpie Hill Reserve Riesling.

In 2022, they retired and handed the business to Winemaker Ben Cane and his partner, Sarah Date. Duke and Ben share the same passion to make beautiful wines from an exceptional terroir; have the same appreciation for cool climate wines; and like to have a lot of fun in the process of making, enjoying, and selling wine.
