The Sally's Paddock is the jewel in the Redbank crown. Named after winemaker Neill Robb's wife, Sally's Paddock is handcrafted from a single non-irrigated vineyard at Redbank Winery and is entirely estate grown and bottled. It is universally regarded as one of Australia's classic red wines. The unique combination of soil type, cool-mild climatic characteristics and un-irrigated traditional culture vineyards produce low yield grapes of high intensity, colour and flavour in the classic Pyrenees style.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Merlot
Colour- Dense colour, beautiful deep crimson tending to burgundy.
Nose- The aromas are, as usual, very complex. There is noticeable new wood with dense and slightly obscure berry/spice aromas. Some chocolate and cigar box. Wonderfully full and pleasant.
Palate- The palate exhibits the same deceptively smooth, soft, even texture that is usual in Sally’s Paddock. Sweet fresh fruit is evident early leading to elusive Mocha and spice characters, so seamlessly interwoven and balanced it is hard to discriminate individual flavours. The middle palate is long and full showing some vanilla/ new oak married to powerful, restrained berry fruit flavour. The finish is lifted and very long tasting leaving an impression of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. This wine has already come together as a complete and delicious tasting experience and should become even more delicious given some time to develop.
Cellar- Will keep at least fifteen years but should be a perfect drink after
another 5 years.
