2014 Pantelis Cabernet Sauvignon Sold Out
The Pantelis Cabernet Sauvignon is our signature wine and bears the name of the family patriarch. Pantelis Zachopoulos (1927-1998) immigrated to Australia from Greece in 1966 with his wife Olga and four children. His diverse agricultural knowledge was passed onto his children Michael, Nicholas and myself Zissis. In 1998 a few months before his passing we purchased and established our vineyard in the Barossa Ranges.
I decided to make this wine in his honour as a token of our appreciation for everything he has taught us. The wine has rich dark fruits, plum and blackcurrant with a touch of typical cabernet herbaceousness on the nose. The palate is long and full with lovely dark chocolate, mocca and cassis flavours. This wine was aged for 24 months in 75% new French and Hungarian oak to add spice and complexity to the wine. Alc 14.5% v/v
