Hungerford Hill Classic Cabernet Sauvignon

Hungerford Hill is a boutique Hunter Valley winery with a long-standing reputation for crafting prestige wines from the cooler regions of New South Wales, including Hilltops and Tumbarumba.

The Hungerford Hill Classic Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the cool-climate style of the region—complex, elegant and finely structured. Deep red in colour, the wine opens with lifted aromas of blackcurrant, black olive, clove and nutmeg. The palate is muscular yet composed, displaying noble, austere tannins that integrate seamlessly with layers of dark fruit and savoury spice. The finish is long, balanced and assured.

Cellaring for up to eight years will reward patience, revealing the classic aged characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon.

“A rather stern cabernet with a tightly wound palate, making it feel like a dry red. Saved by flecks of cassis, currants and licorice with more savoury influences of licorice and wood spice.” — James Halliday
