Sevenhill St Ignatius Cabernet Merlot Malbec Cabernet Franc 2019 (Clare Valley)
Dozen Price: $539.88
RRP: $50.00
The 2019 Sevenhill St Ignatius vintage boasts rich floral and berry scents, layered with hints of bark spices, lavender, rosehip, and cocoa butter. Its medium-bodied palate is remarkably complete and smooth, a testament to its fine texture and balanced poise. This wine is a true showcase of expertise and quality.
"An ecumenical blend of estate-planted (1978–2009) 52/28/14/6% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/malbec/cabernet franc. Selectiv'-machine harvested, 10 days on skins and 19 months in French hogsheads (40% new). The colour and bouquet open up with plenty on show, but it's the full-bodied palate that sweeps all before it, the oak particularly feisty and the black fruits complex and commanding. Drink by 2035."

Winery & Vintage Info
St Ignatius' army career was cut short by a ricocheting cannonball and while his shattered leg was on the mend, Ignatius developed a lifelong love of learning. His devotion to education is embedded into the psyche of the Jesuit Order today and a key reason they built a centre of learning along with the very first winery in the Clare Valley.
St Ignatius does not stray from the varietal mix and hierarchy that has given this wine such a following. The synchronicity of these varieties proves itself each vintage with only the percentage varying with each vintage.
