The 2024 Bekkers Cabernet Sauvignon is entirely sourced from the historic Bekkers Clarendon Vineyard Estate.

In our estimation, we had inherited some 35-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vines in just the right spot to produce an outstanding Cabernet wine.

Along the way it has been fascinating to uncover more of the property’s long history. Former owner E.J. Peake was also enamored with Cabernet Sauvignon:

“The Carbinet de Savignon ripens 15th to 25th March: has a small blue purple berry, small bunch, very decided flavor; yields an excellent wine, of very marked flavor and bouquet.” — E.J. Peake, The South Australian Advertiser, 1868

Until now, we have resisted the temptation to make a wine from one of McLaren Vale’s historically important varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon. We love the Cabernet wines from the valley floor.

They’re plush and intense; darker fruited; but our ambition has been to make wines with high-toned, aromatic varietal expression. A little more medium bodied with bright clarity of fruit. We think we have found a nice balance between traditional McLaren Vale generosity of flavour and some slightly cooler varietal tones in Clarendon.

Variety:
86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc
