Overview:
The Wirra Wirra 2018 Deadringer Cabernet Sauvignon (formerly known as Vintage Bell) is a tribute to the estate’s iconic Angelus Bell and a nod to the craftsmanship and tradition of McLaren Vale’s winegrowing heritage. The name "Deadringer" is a colloquial term meaning “to resemble exactly,” reflecting the wine’s strong, varietal character. The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine has been meticulously crafted to embody the essence of this noble grape variety, offering elegance and balance with age-worthy potential.
Tasting Notes:
The 2018 Deadringer presents a vibrant nose, marked by lifted aromas of blackcurrant leaf, cedar, and toasty oak. On the palate, it reveals a refined and elegant structure, with fresh mulberry flavors complemented by persistent, fine-grained tannins. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a true expression of the varietal, with a fresh yet complex profile that can evolve beautifully over the next 10-15 years when properly cellared.
