The Wine
Esulé is a tale of modern day tragedy, of being life’s outcast. The victim is Cabernet, both Sauvignon and Franc varieties – out of favour in the McLaren Vale, usurped by Shiraz. Judging by the power and intensity of this wine, though, they should be at the forefront of your palate. Dan Graham, our winemaker at RedHeads, thinks so and is championing them in this superb red that speaks volumes of elegance, class and finesse. Both Cabernets are sourced from vineyards in close-to-the-ocean Willunga, where cooler temperatures bring out intense, bright fruit supported by firm but velvety tannins. With open top fermentation and hand plunging, the wine was aged in pure French oak. Decant early and enjoy with roast venison and root vegetables.

"Smooth on the palate with dark notes of leather, chocolate and liquorice. A lovely viscous texture"
