We are thrilled to announce that our Valley Selection 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon has won a prestigious Gold Medal at the Royal Adelaide Wine Show. This recognition stands as a true testament to the passion, craftsmanship, and dedication that goes into every bottle of our wine. From the meticulous care in the vineyard to the winemaking process, this award is a celebration of the extraordinary journey that each vintage undertakes.
The story of this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon begins in the rich soils of King Valley’s northeast-facing slopes, where Graeme and Maggie Ray first planted their vineyard in 1978. Today, the torch has passed to the new custodians, David and Fleur Cavicchiolo, who have elevated this property to one of the region’s premier vineyards. Their philosophy is simple: passion, attention to detail, and a deep connection to the land. These elements, combined with the vineyard’s unique microclimate of warm days and cool nights, create the perfect environment for growing fruit that speaks to the heart of the King Valley terroir.
The Gold Medal win reflects more than just exceptional fruit and meticulous winemaking—it symbolises the strength of the partnerships we’ve built with our growers and the trust they place in our process. The 2022 vintage represents the culmination of hard work, patience, and a love for crafting wines that resonate with depth and elegance. This Cabernet Sauvignon is not only a reflection of the vineyard’s unique terroir but also of the dedication that our team brings to every aspect of winemaking.
With its elegant balance of fruit, spice, and fine tannins, this wine will reward careful cellaring but is also stunningly drinkable right now. Whether you’re planning to enjoy it with a dish like pan-seared lamb chops with anchovy butter, or you’re adding it to your collection for future enjoyment, this is a wine that promises to impress for years to come.
