A soft, elegant take on the world's most celebrated red. Cabernet Sauvignon is the noble grape of Bordeaux, planted right across the globe, yet rarely grown as high or as cool as it is here. Grown on the undulating slopes of Canyonleigh in the cool-climate Southern Highlands, our single vineyard expression is soft, elegant and full of regional character.
The fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness to capture the variety's red-berry character while preserving freshness and elegance.
Grown on a single block at PepperGreen Estate, this wine reflects the unique terroir of Canyonleigh altitude, cool nights and the conditions that give our reds their elegance and fine structure.
Crafted with a considered, minimal-intervention approach to let the fruit and site speak for themselves. Made to be enjoyed now, with the structure to reward a few years in the cellar.
Tasting Notes
- Mid-red with a garnet tinge in the glass.
- Nose presents notes of raspberry, redcurrant and a hint of blackcurrant.
- Red fruits and dried herbs on a soft, medium-bodied palate with fine tannins.

Food Pairing
Our cool-climate Cabernet is elegant and savoury rather than big and firm, which makes it a wonderfully versatile food red. Its red fruit, fine tannins and gentle herbal edge suit roasted meats and earthy, savoury dishes especially well.
