Description

This wine gathers its name from a road nearby d’Arenberg, Coppermine Road that runs parallel to the very best Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard in McLaren Vale. The grapes for this wine come largely from a near extinct clone of Cabernet Sauvignon. This unnamed clone yields no more than one tonne per acre because of its very poor setting ability and the tiny size of its berries. However, the quality of the grapes is far superior, with wonderful violet and blackcurrant aromas, great acidity and long, intense fine- grain tannins.

The nose is dark and alluring with varietal cassis, edges of tobacco and a beautiful leafiness that flows into more delicate notes of violet. The nose is fiercely varietal with complexity that draws you back for another look.

The palate is focused with a sweet fruit core of blackcurrant and wild berries that are dense and concentrated. The darker edges on the nose deliver on the palate and give the wine a deeper dimension with notes of dark chocolate. There is a lovely graphite texture and flavour that runs through the palate before the powdery and chalky tannins kick in for a very long finish. The fruit tannins are wonderfully alive and give considerable structure to the wine.

There is a staggering intensity to the palate, yet the wine remains in balance with immense structure from the lively fruit tannins. This wine will age well for up to two decades, providing immense joy along the journey.

Cellaring Potential

With bottle age, the wine will become more harmonious and gain complex characters of chocolate, truffle, cigar box and earth. The considerable structure and depth will ensure that the fruit characters will develop over time revealing more complexity and providing immense interest
