Winemaker Notes
This Barossa Cabernet from Tait has an intriguing nose with perfumed, dried spice box aromas, along with black berry fruits and an earthy underpinning. The palate is intensely fruity in a medium-full bodied format with ultra, silky, fine-grained tannins that allows this wine to be consumed now with great pleasure or throughout the next 6-8 years. A very full on fleshy style that will please those who are looking for a Cabernet that is mouth filling and soft textured with good fruit intensity - all the things that the Barossa is famous for.

Tait Wines is a family owned winery located in the famous Barossa Valley, in South Australia. The Tait name has been involved in the wine industry for more than 100 years, practising the art of cooperage. Tait Wines is continuing this involvement by producing premium quality wines.
The inspiration behind Tait Wines was Giovanni Tait (1927-1997). Giovanni Tait migrated to Australia from Italy in 1957 to take up work as a cooper in the Barossa. His high skill and craftsmanship in his chosen trade led him to B Seppelts and Sons where he took an active role in the production and maturation of wine in oak casks. He learnt cooperage from his father and grandfather before migrating to Australia.
It was not until his sons grew older that his dream came to reality. With his sons, he founded a small winery called Tait Wines. His vision for Tait Wines was to be a traditional winery using all the old winemaking methods to produce hand crafted wines that were powerful in depth, flavour and taste. Each year, the family acknowledges their fathers vision by dedicating the estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon in his honor. This wine reflects all of Giovanni's qualities of age, depth of character and full of life.
Now Bruno with wife Michelle and brother Michael continue to produce premium boutique wines.
