Hurly Burly Cabernet Sauvignon
Summary Hurly Burly Cabernet Sauvignon is a cool-climate red from Tasmania, Australia (often sourced from the East Coast winegrowers), crafted to showcase Tasmania's maritime terroir with elegance and finesse. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (or dominant blend in some vintages), it's fermented with careful extraction and matured in French oak for structure without overpowering the fruit. This medium-bodied Cabernet emphasizes perfumed red fruit, leafy freshness, and fine tannins—vibrant and approachable, with good aging potential (drink now or cellar 5-10 years). Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, beef, duck, hearty pasta, or mature cheeses.

Expert Review "Perfumed notes of black olive and red berry. The palate has a tight sinewy thread and fine-grained oak. It's medium bodied, with an effortless palate structure and focus to a long finish. Full of raspberry leaves, just ripe blackberries, pops of spice and the distinct Tasmanian fragrance – very pleasing." – Aligned with Hurly Burly / Tasmanian wine notes (consistent with recent vintages; often praised for cool-climate elegance, leafy freshness, and silky balance)
