Dutschke Single Barrel St Jakobi Vineyard 78 Block Cabernet Sauvignon

If ever we needed proof that cabernet of unbridled Barossa power is capable of flattering beyond words, it’s no surprise that this might emerge from the masterful genius of Wayne Dutschke. More than this, this Single Barrel is one of the finest wines to ever hail from the hallowed vines of St Jakobi. How such sheer, vibrant definition can be achieved at no less than 15.0% on the Richter scale is mind-boggling. A wine of such immense density, of profound, layered, mouthfilling cabernet pressing voluminousness and bracing tannin presence should not be capable of such precise, exact, articulate cabernet hallmarks of crunchy, primary red- and blackcurrants, red capsicum and even rose hip fragrance. The secret? Single Barrel. 400 bottles. And the tender loving care of the wizard himself.
