The Sally’s Paddock vineyard grows modest crops of exceptional quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Merlot which are hand-picked at optimum balance, small batch fermented with wild yeast, hand-punched and basket-pressed all in the old Australian way. Extended use of new American and French oak ensures that characteristics of this unique blend from the legendary vineyard are conserved in the wine until ultimate maturity. "To remind us of great things that were before and of unbound promise in the times to come" Neill Robb - Winemaker
Tasting notes:
Hundred Tree Hill Shiraz 2017
Black as tar in colour, with a ring of Ox blood around the glass. Beef stock, treacle, iron filings, sweaty leather, raw, hung meat, fresh coffee, bush fires, cedar, cigarbox, peppercorns, cooking chocolate, mushroom, blackberries, beetroot, stewed plums, mixed peel and Chinese five spice are all suggested by the intoxicating fumes rising from a very large glass of this wine. The wine swirls onto the palate, creamy, viscous and rich, then explodes mid-palate with freshly crushed raspberry juice, blackberry, juniper and plum. This leads on to gamey, meaty characters and further complexity, followed by the familiar savoury, spicy characters of new American oak. The finish is well structured with fine tannin and the flavours linger long after the wine is finished. Great with rare beef, kangaroo, game meats, hard cheeses or just on its own.
Redbank Sally’s Paddock 2016
This is the 32nd release of the Sally’s Paddock. A lovely deep garnet colour, with aromas of violets, morello cherries, cloves and a hint of blackberries. Intense and delightful whilst soft, balanced, silky and smooth on the palate showing mouth filling Autumn berry flavours. Married with subtle new American and Nevers Oak, the Sally’s Paddock makes a complete and delicious wine. The Sally’s Paddock name has earned an international reputation as a great wine for immediate consumption or for those with the patience to cellar for 10 plus years. The Sally’s Paddock has also received two Gold Medals in the London International Wine Challenge and has been included in the ‘Excellent A’ section of the Langtons Classifications for the past 15 years.
