2018 Silvern
The Silvern “a Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon” was crafted to be a beautiful example of an elegant dry red. Fermentation was in both stainless steel tanks and oak barrels then aged for a further six months with minimal oak contact. It was then bottled as a young red to retain freshness.
A bright dark purple / red colour with vibrant fruit aromas and sweet dark berry fruit flavours on the plump palate with fine tannins on the finish.
Winemakers: Bruce Gregory & Michael Marcus

Early indications of the 2018 Vintage suggest that the grape quality is outstanding. All winemakers in the region are talking positively with comments that the colour is good, balanced tannins and good fruit weight.
