Swiggit Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 (12 x 750mL) Adelaide, SA

Description:

History

Swiggit & Co. was formed by a group of winemakers who believe it’s important to make delicious wine to enjoy every day.

Vintage

The Swiggit & Co. Cabernet is a majority blend of Langhorne Creek 80% and Fleurieu 20%.

The 2018 Langhorne Creek vintage was excellent. Winter had above average rainfall, which reduced as the spring months wore on. Summer was reasonably dry and hot, with a couple of downpours helping canopy maintenance. Temperatures were warmer than average, however the summer breeze provided cool nights allowing flavour development. Cabernet Sauvignon was particularly strong, with moderate yields and excellent quality.

The Fleurieu also had an excellent vintage, good rainfall and mild conditions led to near perfect ripening conditions and great fruit flavour.
