2019 Bin 27 Cabernet

The wines from 2019 are full flavoured thanks to a vintage marked by drought. Our old vines stood up well to the dry conditions thanks to our bore-based irrigation system. This ensured excellent leaf canopy and shading through the fruit ripening part of the season.

Huntington’s reputation was built on Cabernet Sauvignon. Two Blocks were planted at opposite ends of the vineyard in 1969, one (Block 3) at the highest point, the other (Block 9) at the lowest. The terroir (climate, soils) and winemaking at Huntington is perfect for this late-ripening, tannic grape.

13 tonne of fruit was received from Block 9 on 10/3/17 at 13.5 Bé and crushed to ferment on skins for 7 days. Barrelled in an even mix of French and American oak, including 30% new French, for 17 months. Bottled at 13.9% alc/vol.
