Description
Max & Me Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 - A rich Cabernet filled with notes of violets and blackcurrant, sourced from our estate vineyard in the scenic highlands of Eden Valley. This wine is vegan friendly and is a single block wine, by Philip and Sarah Lehmann.

In Eden Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon showcases splendid aromas of blackcurrant, violet, and chocolate, along with fine, supple tannins. However, there's one important consideration: during the growing season, Cabernet needs sufficient moisture to develop its remarkable flavors, aromas, and color intensity. In drought years, the wines can become thin, chewy, and exhibit a disjointed tannin structure, leading to Cabernet only being released in favorable years. Eden Valley Cabernets are renowned for their longevity, and a lesser-known fact is that they often outlast even the local Shiraz in terms of aging potential.
