Vinaceous Raconteur Cabernet Sauvignon

The Raconteur is sourced from mature vines located in Wilyabrup, Margaret River; these old vines are hand-harvested and made using traditional techniques by Vinaceous winemakers. Hand-picked, open fermented (with 10% whole bunches). Cabernet Sauvignon from Carl Linder’s 80 year old Barossa Vineyards. Basket pressed into some 25% new oak barriques (French & American) to finish fermentation. 14 – 16 months maturation in the same oak. The Raconteur typifies classic Margaret River cabernet; lush, rich and deep purple in colur with bright hues, the aroma leaps from the glass with violets and black berry and mocha notes. Not unlike a Rorschach Image, people will see different flavors across the palate; some will find ripe fleshy black currants and cassis, others will find crunchy sour cherries; but both complement the overall palate with intensity, weight, structure and texture.
