The Caley is the pinnacle of a long winemaking journey of excellence, that rightfully honours one of Yalumba’s most adventurous sons. A blend of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Barossa Shiraz, The Caley is a classic marriage of two noble varieties and two great Australian wine regions.
Matured for 19 months in 24% new French Barriques, balance in 1 year and older French Barriques. Built to spend many years in the cellar, The Caley takes time to reveal its true character. Drinking beautifully on release the wine will live on for decades in the cellar. If opened as a younger wine we recommend double decanting prior to serving.
TASTING NOTES
Very deep and dense red in colour. Inviting and expressive florals of cassis, rose petals, iodine, violets and cedary tones. This truly epitomises the distinct character of Coonawarra and the unique essence of The Caley. Shiraz fruit merges with Cabernet Sauvignon delivering a long and seamless palate. Full in depth with a prominent chalky, mineral, tannin profile.
Alc: 14%
