Overview

Overview

Planted in 1969, the Childs vineyard has long been a crucial component for the premium wines of Wynns, contributing to John Riddoch, Black Label Cabernet and more recently V&A Lane Cabernet Shiraz.

We rejuvenated the vineyard in 2009, and it is pleasing to see the results so soon. Childs Cabernet is charactersised by bright fruit and fine tannins, both of which are fully displayed in this single vineyard selection.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Bright and youthful with classical Cabernet characters, including cassis, mixed berries and sage.

Flavours and Palate

A mix of summer berries, brambles and leafy spice notes defined by fine, chalky tannin. Both bright and complex, this wine has exceptional length and balance, finishing with red and dark berry layers, with a subtle layer of fragrant oak.
