The regionality for the 2024 vintage of RockBare Click '99 Cabernet Sauvignon is McLaren Vale, the birthpace of wine in South Australia. Its Mediterranean climate and proximity to the ocean means this region receives a cooling effect from winds. Cabernet Sauvignon shines from cooler sites which are ideal for producing full-bodied, classically expressive Caberenets such as this.

Bold ruby red in colour. The nose is ultra-appealing with blueberry, black current and hints of tobacco leaves and capsicum. The palate is rich featuring black current, savoury and chalky tannin. The finish is gently spiced with a delectable cigar box toastiness.

It's splendidly expressed on the nose, showing aromas of blackcurrant, thyme, cured meat, and hazelnut, leading to a succulent palate that's plump and flavoursome. Well-framed by fine, grainy tannins, it is sturdy and structured, with a fine, dry finish.
