2022 First Foot Forward Cabernet Sauvignon

The Yarra Valley does medium-bodied Claret better than anywhere else in Australia and this great value offering from Martin Siebert is just the latest example .

Sourced from the Tokar Estate vineyard, this medium-bodied Cabernet is all about balance, elegance, and drinkability.

It smells of blackcurrant and violets, with a palate filled with supple dark fruits and a touch of earthiness. The gentle tannins—thanks to a four-week skin contact and maturation in 300L French oak—give the wine structure without overpowering its fresh, juicy character.

A classic Yarra Cabernet that combines modern finesse with old-school charm. Great buying here if you're on the hunt for a luncheon Claret that won't bust the bank.

"A medium and vibrant crimson red. Aromas of perfectly ripened blackcurrant and black cherries intermingle with just a hint of cedar and violets. Just as impressive on the medium-bodied, concentrated and well-structured palate. A ripper Yarra cabernet and at a price that's worth buying a six-pack and enjoying them over at least the next decade."
