Shingleback The Davey Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Winemaking
Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon grown exclusively on the Davey Estate Vineyard in McLaren Vale, this wine is a single-site expression of richness and structure. The fruit is fermented in small batches and matured in a mix of French and American oak, allowing depth and complexity to build while preserving varietal purity.

Bouquet
Intense aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum, and blueberry, layered with cedar, eucalyptus, and dark chocolate. A savoury undercurrent of dried herbs and graphite adds refinement.

Palate
Full-bodied and concentrated, with dark berry flavours, integrated oak, and firm tannins. Notes of mocha, cassis, and black olive emerge through the mid-palate, finishing long, dry, and impeccably structured.

Food Pairing
Pair with grilled lamb, chargrilled steak, beef brisket, or slow-cooked ragu. Also excellent with strong cheeses or rosemary-seasoned vegetables.

Interesting Fact
The Davey family vineyard sits on ancient red-brown earth and limestone soils that naturally restrict yields, intensifying flavour and tannin structure. Shingleback’s estate-grown Cabernet consistently punches well above its weight in both pedigree and drinkability.
