Description

Fruit for the 2006 Twins Cabernet blend was sourced entirely from our Barossa Ridge vineyard.Wonderful varietal fruit characters,great elegance and depth of flavour are its hallmarks.

Colour

Deep brick red with garnet hues.

Bouquet

Lifted with intense red currants and ripe berries.Interwoven with the fruit,hints of tobacco,menthol and dusty cedar oak provide contrast and balance.

Palate

Polished and focused with super-fine coating tannins.Lovely ripe berry fruits are interwoven with notes of tobacco,spice and classic Barossa dark chocolate.The finely textured palate is balanced and long.

Vineyard and vintage comments:

Maverick's Barossa Ridge vineyard is situated at the foot of the ridgeline which runs North-South through the Barossa Valley.While the warm climate ensures optimal ripening and tannin maturity,cooling evening breezes provide for the development and retention of varietal characters.Mild to warm conditions over spring and summer led to the rapid maturation off fruit and onset of vintage.In spite of break in weather and fall in daytime temperatures late in March,conditions in the Barossa were favourable for very good colour and tannin development as well as good acid and pH levels.
