Description
Signature Series, limited production Cabernet / Merlot. Entirely Estate grown, produced and bottled in the Yarra Valley. The Cattleyard no longer exists at Long Gully Estate. It was a remnant of the property's previous agricultural use. In it's place now stands a small block of well tendered (and fertilized) Cabernet Sauvignon vines. No Bull!
Limited production of about 120 dozen per vintage and only when exceptional parcels of fruit are available. Only the best barrels of Cabernet and Merlot were selected to put together this blend of 2004 Long Gully Estate Cattleyard Cabernet Merlot. Fresh berry fruit with a fragrant raspberry leaf like herbaciousness and subtle earthiness are supported by a soft but powerful tannin structure. The complex and beautifully textured palate provide a wine that has great length, balance and prestige.
Entirely Estate grown, produced and bottled. The Cattleyard Cabernet / Merlot 2004 has a cellaring potential of 10+ years.
