Appearance

Deep ruby with a tawny hue — the rich, classic colour of a Blewitt Springs Cabernet Sauvignon from the cool sub-region of McLaren Vale, with the depth and clarity that estate fruit, hand-pumped open top fermenters, and 14 months of careful oak maturation deliver.

Aroma

Char-grilled green bell pepper leads the way, joined by blackcurrant and olive tapenade — with notes of tomato leaf and a delicate touch of sour cherry intertwining seamlessly. A Cabernet with a distinct personality: bold, robust, and unmistakably from the cool Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale.

Palate

More approachable and inviting than the nose suggests — vibrant juiciness with the unripened notes fading gracefully, giving way to the warmth of baked spices: black pepper, nutmeg, and sandalwood. Juicy acidity, good focus, excellent balance, fine tannins, and a lingering finish. A warm and generous style that will continue to improve over the next decade.

Pairs With

Slow-roasted lamb, char-grilled beef, duck, aged hard cheeses, and rich Mediterranean dishes — the fine tannins, blackcurrant depth, and spice make Beresford Classic Cabernet Sauvignon a deeply satisfying and natural partner for the finest food at the table.

Reviews

“Cabernet Sauvignon from the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale, which is slightly cooler than most of the rest of the district and a little more suited to the variety, so often provides alluring drinking. A warm and generous style, more open structurally than many Cabernets sourced elsewhere. Juicy acidity, good focus, excellent balance, fine tannins and a lingering finish all contribute to this being a most attractive red and one which will continue to improve over the next decade.”
