Cabernet Sauvignon
SANECTOR Trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon
Marananga Wine Show, 2023
Set among the rolling hills on the banks of Greenock Creek at Seppeltsfield, Hentley Farm founder Keith Hentschke went against the grain when selecting three hillside sites to plant Cabernet, and the risk has paid off.
All with an Easterly aspect and minimal topsoil, the vineyard produces bright fruit for this varietal, aromatic and delicately balanced, distinctive of the estate.
