Magnum 2017 Jackaman's Cabernet Sauvignon
$200.00
/ 1.5L bottle
Jackaman’s vineyard is home to Langmeil’s finest and rarest Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in the 1960s during the Cabernet revolution in the Barossa. This vineyard was lovingly tended by the colourful Barossan Arthur Jackaman, a World War II paratrooper, boxer and butcher who in retirement passed his small plot into Langmeil’s care.

Lifted blueberry, blackcurrant and black olive are evident on the nose, with lovely cedar and hints of liquorice and sweet spice adding to the complexity.
