Tasting notes from the producer

During the 1870s Imperial Russia was considered the British Empire’s most dangerous enemy. On the distant shores of South Australia, a very real (but quite unfounded) fear of invasion followed, and volunteers were rallied to keep the marauding Russians at bay. Frank Potts led the local army equipped with his trusty muzzle-loader ‘The Iron Duke’, named for the Duke of Wellington.

This wine celebrates Frank’s community leadership. A best of the best barrel selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, distinctive varietal and regional character with notes of violets, cedar and cassis, finely tempered tannins and a long finish. After a period of cellaring, it is normal for some sediment to form; decanting one - two hours prior to drinking is recommended.
