Description
Enjoy a 93pt, Great Value Barossa Cabernet – “Beautifully fruited with excellent varietal notes” (Wine Orbit). Located in High Eden, a sub-region of the Barossa, approximately 550 metres above sea level, Mountadam was originally established in 1972 by the late David Wynn for his winemaking son Adam. Since 2005, it has returned to being a family owned and run winery, with David and Jenni Brown overseeing its success. With Phil Lehmann, the son of Peter Lehmann, as chief winemaker, they are going from strength-to-strength. High Eden’s chilly heights lead to harvests up to a month later than those in neighbouring, lower Eden Valley. The result is gorgeous Cabernet like this, full of dark fruit and chocolate.
“Pretty solid value here if you seek a flavour-packed Cabernet Sauvignon bistro-style beverage. Deep blackberry, blackcurrant and black cherry fruits with hints of dried herbs, licorice, cedar, tobacco, sage and earth. Plenty of broody black berry tones with an inky, graphite palate form, medium-length finish and plenty of drive.90pts Great Value” (Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion).
“Beautifully fruited with excellent varietal notes, it's fragrant on the nose with blackcurrant, subtle tobacco, floral and roasted nut aromas. The palate offers supple texture and finely flowing mouthfeel, well framed by polished tannins. Harmonious and flavoursome. 93pts.” (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).
