The Alan’s Cabernet was the wine that launched Wild Duck Creek Estate. Acidic soils of low fertility help to keep yields low in this vineyard, which comprises 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and a splash of Petit Verdot. Prior to the existence of the winery, Duck and Diana would pick these grapes with friends, drive them 100km home to Melbourne and make them into wine. A floral treat of berries, mint, and violets; most years the Alan’s Cabernet is Duck’s favourite.
