Dyson Wines Clarice Cabernet …

The grapes for the Dyson Clarice Cabernet Sauvignon are grown on our Maslin Beach vineyard (McLaren Vale region). Our traditional vineyard practices include hand-pruning, mulching, and using minimal sprays, combined with good canopy management, all of which ensure that top quality fruit is produced for our Clarice Cabernet.

The grapes are hand-picked at optimum ripeness at the end of March each vintage, chilled overnight in our coolroom, and then crushed into our open fermentors where the juice and skins are fermented and cooled for 6 to 7 days. The juice is then run off, the grape skins are pressed, and the free run juice is put into French Oak Barriques to finish fermentation and to mature. The pressing wine is then put into American Oak Barriques to finish fermentation and mature. Both portions of this wine are matured for 24 to 30 months in oak. All barriques are then assessed for quality, before both portions of the wine are blended together prior to bottling. Dysons believe strongly that minimal handing combined with minimal filtration creates a superior wine.

The Dyson Cabernet Sauvignon shows rich varietal flavours with a good depth of fruit on the palate. Fine grained tannins along with subtle oak characters and balanced acid make this wine a pleasure to enjoy. The subtle varietal cabernet flavours of the Dyson Cabernets, are not over-ridden by hot alcohol flavours but more a subtle fruit/oak/acid combination. These attributes combine together suberbly to create wines which show style and class, and with careful cellaring, the Dyson Cabernets will bring you many years of great drinking pleasure.

Dysons Clarice Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic wine for cellaring. James Halliday 2005 Wine Companion rating a stunning 94/100 featured in the Best of the Best Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.
