The Thorn-Clarke Sandpiper Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a true gem for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the craft of family-owned wineries. This wine is sourced from several Thorn-Clarke owned vineyards, and it's produced in a 'fruit forward' style that showcases the best of the Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon.
Thorn-Clarke is a family-owned winery with a rich heritage that dates back to the mid-1800s. The winery is located in the Barossa Valley, one of Australia's most renowned wine regions. The family's passion for winemaking is evident in every bottle, and the Sandpiper Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception.
The traditional winemaking process used by Thorn-Clarke is focused on sustainability and quality. The grapes are carefully selected and handpicked, and the wine is aged for 12 months in primarily French oak barrels. This process results in a wine that's ready to be enjoyed now, but it can also be cellared for up to 5 years.
The Sandpiper Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that displays great lift and intensity of fruit, while retaining Cabernet varietal character. It has a deep ruby color and aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and vanilla. On the palate, it's full-bodied with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and the finish is long and smooth.
This wine is perfect for pairing with red meat dishes, such as grilled steak or lamb. It also pairs well with strong cheeses and dark chocolate. The Sandpiper Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile wine that's sure to impress your guests at any dinner party.
