VINTAGE 2020

The cool climate of the Limestone Coast growing region (located in the South-East corner of South Australia), combined with a diverse array of sub-regions, makes this the perfect fruit source for our

Limestone Coast Selections range of wines. Premium vineyards in each sub-region are selected not just for their cool-climate credentials, but also for their suitability to each variety. The wines are then crafted by our winemakers to a consistent style and quality, which is perfect for everyday drinking or more salubrious occasions.

BACKGROUND

Fruit for our Twist of Fate Cab. Sauv. is sourced from Jack Kay’s vineyard in Bool Lagoon (located between Coonawarra and Wrattonbully) and from Brett Williams’ vineyard in southern Coonawarra.

The terra rossa soils and cool climate of these vineyards make them the perfect partners for growing high quality Cabernet. Following harvest in early April, the fruit was fermented in stainless steel open fermenters for 7 days. Malolactic fermentation was also completed in stainless steel to retain freshness and aromatics. The blend was then barrelled down to 2nd fill and older French oak barriques and hogsheads for 9 months maturation prior to bottling.

TASTING NOTES
