Cabernet off the Sheaok Vineyard, and it’s a beauty (although it comes in a way-too-heavy bottle about 1.5kg when full). No complaints about the flavour profile of blackberry essence and cassis, cedary oak spices and toasted nori, black olive tapenade and menthol. It’s fuller bodied with a ping of lively acidity, and the tannins are lovely – ripe yet with a cocoa-powder texture. Understandably there’ll be a desire to open this now, but it will garner more complexity with age. 95 points. Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion 2024

Notes
2022 was as suggested prior a cassis flavoured dream. Whilst we had very little fruit on the vines, a pitiful 2.8t / Ha. But what was there tasted of raw emotion!
We commenced picking Sheoak Cabernet on the 14th of April, some 3 weeks later than the tricky 21 vintage. What we got from this lovely time in the sun, under an Indian summer so to speak, was perfect tannins ripeness. Densely structured, instantly perfumed and richly coloured. The wine spent 15 days on skins, with a peak fermentation temperature of around 28 degrees C. The wine was pressed to tank and settled briefly before being transferred to a combination of new (25%) and two & three-year-old barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine was racked only once in this time and, after 15 months in oak, was emptied from barrel. 100% Cabernet from a very special vineyard.
The Sheoak vineyard makes expressive, medium-bodied silky structured wines. Dark fruit flavours and high notes of cassis and warm spice frame this slightly more brooding release of the Nocturne SV. While it’s amazingly accessible on release, this wine would love 3 to 6 years further maturation, which will really make this amazing wine shine. – Julian Langworthy, Nocturne
