Product description
Introduction
Langmeil Jackaman's Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 is a premium red wine from Australia, specifically sourced from the Barossa Valley in South Australia. The winery is located on a historic trading village site established in 1842 and is currently owned by the Lindner family, whose Barossan heritage spans six generations. This specific wine is named after Arthur Jackaman, a colorful local paratrooper, boxer, and butcher who meticulously tended the small vineyard plot before passing it into Langmeil's care upon his retirement.
Wine Description
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from a historic vineyard planted during the 1960s. The 2012 vintage was aged for 25 months in a combination of 36% new and 64% second-fill French oak hogsheads.
Colour: It displays a medium to deep crimson hue with vibrant purple highlights.
Aroma: The nose is lifted and complex, featuring blackcurrant and blueberry entwined with biscuity French oak, minty hints, savoury black olive, and touches of liquorice and cedar.
Palate: Bright, juicy blue and red fruits flow onto the palate, which is layered with briary spice and additional savoury notes of black olive and cedar.
Body: The wine is medium to full-bodied with a rich, silky, and well-integrated tannin structure.
Finish: It concludes with a long, velvety finish that balances fruity intensity with a subtle touch of oak sweetness.
ABV: This vintage is bottled at 14.5% alcohol by volume.
