AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Aromas of dark berry fruits and cool-climate leafiness. The palate is full-bodied with blackcurrant and dark chocolate flavours. Serve with steak or a casserole.

Our best Cabernet block, 52N was selected to craft this wine. Fruit was de-stemmed and the must warmed to go straight into fermentation. Pumped over twice daily during peak of fermentation,
which lasted 7 days.

Then reduced to once daily pump over post ferment for a further 7 days. 1 parcel off fruit was pressed straight off skins, whilst the second parcel was kept on skins for 3 months
post ferment maceration. Following this, the wine was gently drained and pressed off skins. Then matured for 12 months in a combination of 225L & 400L French oak barrels with 20% new oak.

Following barrel maturation, wine was racked, lightly fined to help soften tannins and then filtered for bottling.

Description

Established in 1995, Cumulus Vineyards is located in Boomey approximately 40 kilometres north-west of Orange. Sprawled over rolling hills in the Orange GI wine region, our 508-hectare property is one of the largest single-estate vineyards in Australia.

The newly illustrated wrap label includes an embellished circus ticket with serrated edges honouring the history of the travelling circus in the region and surrounding areas. Climbing wines exhibit intense flavours courtesy of lower yielding vines set on ancient soils, extremely cool nights and carefully nurtured viticulture.

About Orange
Set on ancient soil 600 metres above sea-level, our hometown of Orange is the largest and highest cool-climate winemaking region in Australia. The cooler mornings at our high-altitude estate create ideal growing conditions resulting in intense, fruit forward wines.

In addition to having an excellent winemaking climate, Orange is a beautiful town with wonderful architecture and a rich history. Although it sometimes appears to be a quiet country town, Orange comes to life in April when it hosts Orange F.O.O.D Week and in October for the Orange Wine Festival. These events attract people from all over Australia who visit Orange to sample some of the best local wines and produce that the region has to offer.
