Ubertas Wines

2016 UBERTAS SINGLE VINEYARD BAROSSA VALLEY SHIRAZ CABERNET SAUVIGNON

RRP $30/ 2036

An 85/15% blend, matured in French oak (30% new) for 16 months. The wine has the hallmark depth and hue of Ubertas’ red wines. This has much to offer, with blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, firm but not aggressive tannins, and well-balanced and integrated oak. Will repay cellaring for 5-10 years and beyond. 14.5% alc

DIRECTOR Phil Liu What do you love about aged wine?

The first thing I love about aged wine is that the tannins become softer and also provides a rounder mouthfeel. Secondly, the aged characteristics – for example, cedar and earthiness – create more complexity in a wine and intergrate well with reduced, primary fruit characters.
