Wyndham Bin 444 Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 CONFIRM 2015 VINTAGE

Cabernet Sauvignon New South Wales
A fully approachable Cabernet wine of attractive fruit flavours and soft, ripe tannins to be enjoyed today alongside your favourite faire. Rigorous assessment of vineyards is essential to identify the fruit style suitable for Bin 444. Prior to harvest, careful monitoring of the sites are undertaken by the winemakers to assess flavour development and sugar accumulation. The decision to harvest is always based on flavour intensity and varietal character. Drinking beautifully upon release, ideally alongside scotch eggs and shaved truffle over wide ribbon noodles.
Grapes are destemmed, crushed to static and rotary fermenters and inoculated with choice yeasts. The free run juices are kept separate from pressings. The temperature range throughout vinification is maintained between 20C and 28C for a duration of ten to fifteen days. Fermenters are pumped over twice every twenty four hours to irrigate the grape skin cap, thus liberating the rich colour and fruit flavour while extracting a fine balance of tannins. Vinified to achieve a generosity of mouthfeel and provide supportive tannin structure, the choicest parcels are matured in a selection of French and American oak hogsheads prior to assembly, stabilising and filtration. Alcohol 14.0%
Deep crimson red with vibrant purple hues. Distinctive ripe blackcurrant, plum and dried herb aromas supported by a subtle savoury and spicy oak background. Medium to full bodied in style with ripe blackcurrant and plum Cabernet flavours combined with delicate chocolate /smoky oak. Grape and oak tannins are harmonised to provide a lingering, but soft, structured finish.

For more than 170 years Wyndham Estate has set the benchmark for quality Australian wines, proudly wearing the title of 'industry pioneer' responsible for launching Australian wines onto the world stage

English immigrant George Wyndham began this most important page in Australia's winemaking history in 1828 when he planted his first vineyard at Dalwood, along the banks of the Hunter River, in New South Wales. Seven years later Dalwood Wines, as it was then known, released its first vintage to rave reviews and by the mid-1800s was exporting to England and India.

George Wyndham led the way in promoting the fledging Australian wine industry, showing Dalwood Wines in the Great Expositions of Europe and the USA. The Hunter Valley wines quickly bagged a swag of international medals and in the process earned the Australian wine industry a reputation for high standards and exceptional quality.

Wyndham Estate has continued the tradition of taking on the world with its superior winemaking and in 1988 was ranked number one at the prestigious Intervin International by winning 26 medals - a first for Australia. It did it again in 1989 and continues to impress to this day on the world stage with wines such as the 1999 Show Reserve Chardonnay winning Gold at the 2002 Chardonnay du Monde competition in France. An exclusive competition for the world's finest Chardonnays.

Today Wyndham Estate is renowned for much more than its wines. The original Dalwood vineyard has become a favourite tourist destination in the Hunter Valley, with its combination of fine food and entertainment to complement its popular wines. It houses a 400-seat restaurant and function facility, while the historic cellar door, open fermenters and 100-year-old operational basket press ensure guests enjoy the traditional winery experience.

Wyndham

Every year in the months preceding and throughout vintage the Wyndham Estate winemaking team travel over hundreds of kilometres to closely monitor a selection of premium vineyards situated in various winegrowing regions throughout South Eastern Australia. The team inspect these vineyards and taste the grapes at different stages of ripeness in order to ensure that they are harvested when the optimum flavour and acid balance is reached.

When they are not in the vineyard they can be found in the winery tasting ferments, assessing wines in barrel, evaluating wines being matured in bottle for release, or experimenting with new wine and oak combinations.

Previous international stars to headline the event include Ray Charles, Shirley Bassey, Michael Crawford, Cliff Richard and Anthony Warlow
