About Leeuwin Estate Prelude Vineyards Cab Sauv
The Leeuwin Estate Prelude Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackcurrant and dark plum, interlaced with fragrant violet and a whisper of dried herbs characteristic of Margaret River's maritime terroir. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a supple, well-structured frame. Flavours of cassis and mulberry are layered with cedar, warm baking spices, and a subtle graphite minerality. The tannins are fine-grained and polished, lending elegance without austerity. The finish is long and composed, with lingering notes of dark fruit, mocha, and a touch of bay leaf that speak to the quality of the Prelude Vineyards fruit.
