Irvine Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 750ml

From the elevated vineyards of Eden Valley, Irvine Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is a beautifully structured expression of cool-climate Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Ancient soils and cool growing conditions contribute to a wine of remarkable elegance and concentration — balancing ripe dark fruit with savoury complexity and finely textured tannins. Crafted with patience and precision, this Cabernet delivers depth, freshness, and excellent ageing potential.
