Cabernet Sauvignon 'Hugh' 2022, Mac Forbes Grappa Elderflower

Elderflower

mineral typicity you'd hope for

almost umami notes to its core of soft raspberry and strawberry fruits with spice and dark herbs getting involved too

spicy Tempranillo from Margaret River tempered with a little Viognier to give it some floral notes and lift to it

this is a beautifully pure

Cabernet Sauvignon 'Hugh' 2022, Mac Forbes Grappa ElderflowerMac Forbes makes some of Australia's best 'new wave' wines in Victoria, and we absolutely love this wine. Made as an homage to his father, this is old vine Cabernet Sauvignon with a little Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, picked early as is the Mac Forbes style and matured for 15 months in old oak. It's incredibly lithe and pure, clocking in at a nimble 11. 5% alcohol! Beautiful, leafy, crunchy style with the bones to age too.
