The 2021 Gigglepot Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a cooler year in McLaren Vale, and the comparative levity and spaciousness when tasted alongside the 2020 is evident. This has cassis and raspberry, layers of dark/milk chocolate and shortcrust pastry. Juicy, dense, plump and lush all describe the style and curve of this wine.

A ripe, generous expression of Cabernet, with blackberry cobbler, vanilla cream, fresh violet and blueberry preserves on a lush, creamy frame, plus accents of mocha. Reveals spice, cedar and additional chocolaty notes on the finish. Drink now. 2,175 cases made, 979 cases imported.
