Nightfall ‘Perseus - The Hero’ Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Nightfall ‘Perseus - The Hero’ Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Perseus, the legendary hero of Greek mythology, was a slayer of monsters, son of Zeus, and an enduring symbol of courage and triumph.

This is the flagship, the hero of the Nightfall range.

Deep inky garnet with a vibrant ruby edge. The nose is powerful and commanding, offering intense cassis, blackcurrant and mulberry fruit, interwoven with luxurious French oak; cedar, dark chocolate, graphite, and a whisper of vanilla and cigar box. There’s remarkable purity and aromatic complexity.

The palate is majestic and structured. Full-bodied and concentrated, it delivers a profound wave of blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry fruit, tightly framed by firm, velvety tannins shaped by extended maturation in the finest French oak. Layers of savoury spice, dried herbs and mineral graphite add serious depth, while vibrant acidity keeps the wine energised and perfectly balanced. The finish is exceptionally long and heroic.

A profound, age-worthy Coonawarra Cabernet that already shows greatness and will reward many years in the cellar.
