The idea comes from winemaker Kym Teusner’s view of the grape. Eden Valley, grown at altitude, is where Cabernet is, in his words, “more Cabernet-like,” with “a bright expression of classic varietal blackcurrant character, really nice acidity and fine-grained tannins.” Barossa Valley Cabernet, by contrast, “brings what I like to call ‘the tasty factor’ to the glass, loads of rich, generous black fruit.” The contrasting characters, the winery says, “work extraordinarily well when they become companions in the bottle.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Halliday Wine Companion scored the 2018 93 Points, with this description: “Eden Valley blackcurrant and cassis, Barossa Valley dark chocolate and coffee. Ready to enjoy.” The winery’s tasting note puts it simply: “In classic Teusner style, it’s all about fruit: succulent, generous and accurate. Blackcurrant and cassis signpost cabernet, while juicy density, dark chocolate and coffee declare Barossa.” Another reviewer said it “really speaks to varietal characters of cabernet.” The 2017 vintage of the same wine was described by a critic as one in which “deep, fragrant blackcurrant, cassis and violet are backed by a confident undercurrent of French oak, building a fine yet enduring framework of impressive tannin structure,” a good guide to the house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt’s a well-balanced Australian Cabernet that avoids both extremes: there’s real Barossa richness, but with the freshness and structure of the cooler Eden Valley.
