McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon

The 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
