The Rewild range are from Duxton Vineyards located in the Murray Darling region of NW Victoria (around Mildura and Sunraysia). This affordable range of sustainably made, easy drinking wines are also vegan friendly. Duxton state their environmental credentials as Australia’s current largest certified vineyard holder and a member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia. The attractively packaged range are available exclusively across Australia in Dan Murphy’s stores. Here we have the 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon. Safe to say its one of the few Cab Sauvs released in the same year as harvest.
Rewild, Cabernet Sauvignon, Murray Darling, 2024
Wet pouch tobacco, black currant pastille, warm ganache, box hedge, charred padron peppers and olive tapenade. Young and sinewy. Lack of maturation means a young and perky release. Black fruits and green spice through a hollow Cabernet donut profile with flat and dry tannin. Won’t necessarily be a beacon to those who want a rustic or fleshy Cabernet Sauvignon, but one for those wanting to maybe help the planet.
