Cleanskin Cabernet Sauvignon

$7.49

Winery Overview Nova Vita Wines is a family-owned producer based in the Adelaide Hills, founded with a strong focus on regional expression and thoughtful vineyard management. The winery works closely with its own vineyards and trusted growers across the Hills, producing wines that reflect cool-climae conditions rather than overt winemaking influence. The Nova Vita name, meaning new life, reflects the philosophy behind the wines, which is to let site and vintage speak clearly. This cleanskin release follows that approach, offering quality fruit and careful winemaking without the emphasis on branding. Region and Vintage Conditions The Adelaide Hills is well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, thanks to its cooler temperatures and long growing season. The 2017 vintage experienced steady ripening conditions, allowing Cabernet grapes to develop flavour intensity while retaining natural acidity and structure. These conditions helped produce a wine with balance, freshness, and varietal clarity. Winemaking Techniques Cabernet Sauvignon fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented to preserve varietal character. Extraction was managed carefully to build structure without harshness. Oak influence was used with restraint to support the fruit profile and add subtle complexity, resulting in a well-integrated and polished wine. Tasting Notes Appearance Deep ruby redAroma Blackcurrant, dark cherry, subtle cedar, and gentle spicePalate Medium to full-bodied with flavours of cassis and plum, supported by savoury undertones and fine-grained tannins. The acidity remains fresh, giving the wine good shape and balance.Finish Firm, clean, and persistent with lingering dark fruit and soft oak notes Key Characteristics Cool-climate Adelaide Hills Cabernet Sauvignon Dark fruit with savoury complexity Fine tannins and balanced acidity Structured yet easy to enjoy Food Pairing Recommendations Pairs well with grilled beef, roast lamb, slow-cooked dishes, mushroom-based meals, or aged hard cheeses. A versatile Cabernet suited to both casual dinners and more considered meals.
