Pride Of Lunatics Ignimbrite Cabernet 2023

Cabernet sauvignon from the family farm in Central Ranges, NSW. Juice and whole bunches in the ferment. No additions, no sulphur, unfiltered and unfined. Similar label, darker wine colour though!

Ultra peppery and herbal but in a pleasing and uplifting sense. Blackberry on brambles, some seaweed umami notes, whiffs of green olive, touch of eucalyptus, some Ribena fruitiness. Slurpy texture, soft and round but with a core of squeaky acidity – it feels almost medicinal, not in flavour, but in profile of a health tonic or similar. Soft, sweet spices trail well after each sip. A juicy number. Fresh and bright. Good with a chill, if not ideal. Good energy all up. - winefront.com
