Lake Breeze Arthur’s Reserve Cabernet 2020 (12 Bottles) Langhorne Creek

$543.00

SHIPPING INCLUDED ONLY IN VICTORIA. WINE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO BE DELIVERED OUTSIDE VIC.

This stylish wine is a tribute to Arthur Follett, who planted the first vines on the family property in the 1880’s.

A blend of 90% Cabernet, 7% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot, this wine is truly handcrafted from the vineyard through to the finished product. The grapes were carefully selected from 40-50 year old vines from our family vineyard on the famous Langhorne Creek flood plain.

Small open fermenters were used with maceration times varying from 8-12 days. The wine was then aged in 100% French Oak for 21 months with only the best barrels of the vintage chosen for the final blend, which remained unfined and unfiltered.

The resultant wine shows classic blackcurrant aromas with violets, mint and savoury characters. The palate has great depth and silkiness and shows wonderful intensity and length of flavour. With correct cellaring this wine will drink beautifully over the next 15-20 years.

Description

About Lake Breeze

Our Lake Breeze winery lies on the banks of the Bremer River and is surrounded by majestic river red gums and overlooks the 90 hectare (225 acre) Follett family vineyard. The vineyards are managed Tim Follett, whom Greg relies on to provide him with consistently outstanding fruit.

The varieties grown on the vineyard include cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and chardonnay, with smaller amounts of grenache, merlot, petit verdot, malbec and vermentino.

Lake Breeze selects only the best 40% of fruit from the older vines for its wines. The majority of the fruit used is carefully selected from old vines, between 50 and 55 years old, with the oldest vines being our Grenache, planted in 1932.

Our Lake Breeze cellar door has evolved further with contemporary function space, taking advantage of the stunning views across the vineyard from one of the best vantage points in the district. A great place to sit and enjoy a long lunch or the perfect venue to celebrate your special occasion.

Lake Breeze offers visitors to the region an extensive Langhorne Creek experience with cellar door tastings, lunch menu and accommodation at The Creek Cottage bed + breakfast.
