Yalumba The Caley Cabernet Shiraz 2013
- Grape 71% Coonawarra Cabernet 29% Barossa Shiraz
- Country Australia
- Region Coonawarra Barossa
- ABV 14%
- Producer Yalumba
- Case size 3 / 75cl
- Very deep, dense red. Showcasing bright, attractive floral notes, cherry, oyster shell, leafy stalks, and redcurrant, all typical of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. A very defined and composed wine with engaging ripe fruits on the palate.
- Medium to full depth with a densely layered structure delivering a prominent yet silky tannin profile Matured for 21 months in 25% new French barriques, balance in 2-year and older French barriques and hogsheads
With deep purple reds, opening florals and exotic purple fruits, this vintage is quite delightful, pretty, respectful and intriguing. It shows as very even, rich depth and is so well balanced with a long flow of pointed tannins. Stunning.
Built to spend many years in the cellar, The Caley takes time to reveal its true character. Drinking beautifully on release the wine will live on for decades in the cellar. If opened as a younger wine we recommend double decanting prior to serving.
In 1847 a 37-year-old brewer called Samuel Smith left his home in Wareham, Dorset with his wife Mary and their four children. Boarding a simple three-masted barque they left Plymouth and began the long and arduous journey to Australia, arriving in Port Adelaide. From there they trecked north to Angaston where Samuel took a job as a gardener. It was arguably this brave decision to start a new life in a remote and distant land, together with the hardship that they endured, that formed the strong sense of family unity that has been the bedrock of the family business ever since. In 1849 he started the wine farm that would grow over the next 5 generations to become one of Australia’s leading wineries, with a winemaking culture that is internationally recognised and respected. To embrace the native culture, Samuel decided to adopt a local name for his farm, calling it “Yalumba” meaning “all the country around’’ in the indigenous Peramangk language.
