2005 Head Over Heels Cabernet Merlot
A lifetime of dedication to our passion for winemaking and viticulture and it finally dawned on us that we really love what we make.
We are Head over Heels over this South Australian Cabernet Merlot. This wine is deep crimson in colour and has aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla and cedar. The palate shows cassis, blackberry, oak spice and fine lingering tannins of classic Cabernet beautifully integrated with the mouthfilling richness of the Merlot.

VINTAGE Vintage 2005 was early, warm and quick and produced good yields of fantastic quality. Above average rains led to a spring that brought a serene green beauty. The reds benefited from a gradual autumnal onset and vineyards generally maintained their canopies through picking. The quality of the 2005 vintage is sure to be ranked as one of the best on record alongside the 2002 vintage.
FOOD MATCH Enjoy with char-grilled beef or rich pasta dishes or simply anytime!
