Lake's Folly White Label Cabernets 2015

Lake's Folly Cabernets is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Shiraz made from low-yielding, estate-grown, hand-picked fruit. The fruit is open-fermented producing softer, more subtle tannins, and then transferred to large old casks for six months for settling, and then into small French oak barriques (new and one- and two-year-old) for approximately one year before bottling. Excellent long-term cellaring potential of up to 20 years, depending on the vintage.


Deep brick red colour, with aromas of dark fruits like black cherry, hints of violets, liquorice and charred oak. The palate is soft and generous for a medium-bodied wine. Blackberry fruits flow onto the palate – the wine has its trademark length of flavour and excellent fruit sweetness and balance.


Lakes Folly


 

"Cedary and violet-like aromas of small black, blue and red berries, cedary oak and dried herbs reveal a hint of mineral. Long and gentle, but with a faint edginess, its smooth core of pristine, sweetly ripened small fruits and tight-grained oak finish with just a hint of sappiness. Drink 2023 to 2027"
