Pleasantly surprised by this. Often SA reds are over-extracted leading to a hard, bitter finish. This had a lovely, smooth rich palate and finish. OK, it's perhaps more rich than many would expect from a Cab - lacks a bit of acidity - but really easy drinking. Will buy again.

Nice wine with rich aroma of plum, has a bit of a tangy afterbite. Quite liked it but a bit on a heavy side for CS.

An approachable CS but still with bite. Soft, dark caressing fruit giving way to teasing tartness and restrained tannins, before some sweetness returns in the aftertase. A well-structured wine that belies it's moderate price. More please!

Absolutely fantastic, without doubt it is a top class red wine. Fruity, very balanced and the long finish is just amazing. Anyway, the first cabernet sauvignon my wife really enjoyed. The only issue is we run out of it. I am wondering what is the perfect temperature for this wine?

"My greatest pleasure has been to start Arabella, my winery, from scratch in 2006. With the help of my children, Nicky & Jamie, it's turned in to a real family business where everyone is completely dedicated. My family owned a wine farm when I was growing up, and at the age of 17 my mother put me to work in the cellar. I absolutely loved. So winemaking was something I knew I wanted to do from a young age. I love the creativity involved with being a winemaker. Every step taken, from vineyard to bottling, will effect the outcome of the wine. It's vital to have a very clear idea of what the outcome should be and the steps needed in the process to achieve the desired result."
