The sekt Grande Reserve Triumphare, vintage 2018 from the winery 000 Wine by Sam has been rated in 2018 by Ulrich Sautter with 89 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Strathbogie Ranges in Australia.
Open ferment initiated with high percentage of stalks and whole berries. Destemmed and crushed with half going into a closed fermenter with turbo pigeur to pump wine, and half into stainless steel fermenters for hand-plunging. Maturation in mix of oak barrels (40% new French, 20% new American) and seasoned barrels for 14 months. A cool year in the Strathbogies produced a taut and powerful cabernet display that marries blackberry, Aussie bush, bay leaf and briar with arresting layers of savoury spice. Tannins keep things impressive and real. It has a way to go.
