Hogshead is an extension of the partnership between South Australian winegrower Jim Zerella and Nicholas Crampton. Hogshead Cabernet is a richly flavoured and impressively structured Cabernet, classically South Australian, and perfectly suited to barbecued red meats and other big flavours.

Winemaking:
De-stemmed before a long, cool maceration with regular pumping over. Maturation is
partially in stainless steel (aiding aromatics and fruit expression), partially in seasoned French and American cal< for three months and partially in 3001 French Hogshead barrels for a full-bodied and complex flavour.

Tasting Note:

Rich aromas of dark fruit, bramble and brown spices. An array of flavours melded to one full-flavoured and extended palate that is packed full of berry fruit, dark chocolate and vanilla oak character. The wine has depth and richness driving a long finish supported by freshness and supple tannins. Once again an excellent combination of the Hogs Head signature easy-going approachability and Cabernet Sauvignon definition and structure.

Alc: 14%
