Once approaching dryness, the wine was pressed directly to French oak barriques for a 18 month maturation. Careful barrel selection as always looking for barrels that highlighted lift and length of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eregion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePyrenees, Victoria\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003evariety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eanalysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 14.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilet mignon with Café de Paris butter sauce and steak frites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-blurb\"\u003eToni Paterson, Halliday Wine Companion 2025\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"tastingNote\" class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-blurb\"\u003eHarvested from the original contour and front gate vineyard on the Dalwhinnie estate. Open-top fermentation was followed by pressing directly to French oak barriques for 20 months' maturation. This is a beautifully complete wine, not overdone in any way. It has brightness and depth without overt fruitiness, with ripe, graphite-like tannins seamlessly integrated into the body of the wine. Elegant cassis notes shine alongside attractive flecks of crushed herbs. Beautifully proportioned, cleansing, savoury and structural, with impressive length and a long life ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-blurb\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[points rating=\"96\" title=\"Halliday Wine Companion 2025\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dalwhinnie","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":46119739129926,"sku":"1710CAS22D67","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1139\/8708\/files\/DAL_Moonambel_CabSauv.jpg?v=1711411393","url":"https:\/\/fogartyhall.wine\/products\/2022-moonambel-cabernet-sauvignon","provider":"Fogarty Hall Fine Wine Estates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
