Wynns Glengyle Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Glengyle is a fragment of John Riddoch’s original block 474. It was planted on own roots with pre-clonal Cabernet Sauvignon in 1969 and is now renowned as an early ripening vineyard in the hear of the Terra Rossa soil.

Glengyle has been selected as a single vineyard release in 2007, 2009 and now in 2021. In the three vintages selected for release, the growing season temperature was average with low rainfall, and the grapes were amongst the earliest harvested Cabernet of the season.

Palate - The flavours are beautifully fresh, echoing crunchy red berries and intriguing gentle florals. This wine is finely polished and focused in structure, with great persistence and intensity giving the impression of a wine that is layered, flowing and building all at once. A true wine of stature.

30% new barriques, 30% seasoned barriques, 40% seasoned vats

Perfect Pairing - Josper (charcoal) grilled beef short ribs with brown butter sauce
