2007 Trevarrick Cabernet Shiraz

Trevarrick was the original name of the Skillogalee property, settled by John and Anne Trestrail in the early 1850’s.  In 1970 it was planted to vines and renamed.  Now at Skillogalee each individual contour block on the Estate is harvested and vinified separately.  The Trevarrick name is reserved for wines that are of exceptional quality and varietal character.

Our modern, on-site winery is equipped to make small batches of wine.  This means that we can process parcels of fruit from individual blocks of vines into wines that are kept separate right through to blending.  This was the case with the 2007 Trevarrick Cabernet Shiraz – a single contour of dry grown cabernet sauvignon and a single contour of dry grown shiraz both stood out equally in 2007.  The synergy achieved by combining equal proportions of each contour gave rise to a defining wine.

The wine has great drive and weight, showing luscious fruit characters and structure from both varieties.  The best quality oak balances with ripe tannins and a lingering acidity.

Trevarrick showcases the essence of Skillogalee!
