A truly masterful example of Australian Cabernet, from one of Australia's most celebrated modern winemakers. Only made in extraordinary vintages, Téte de Cuvée is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (74%), Merlot (24%) and Petit Verdot (2%) from Beechworth's prestigious Smith's vineyard. It was aged in French oak barriques (50% new, 50% second fill) for 12 months, before being racked and transferred to old 600-litre thick stave oak casks for a further eight months. Alluring cedarwood aromatics, succulent blackcurrant, dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and pencil shavings with beautifully poised tannins. It's drinking magnificently now (though it requires a lengthy decant) but will continue to unfurl and develop over the next ten years.

Who is A Rodda?
Adrian Rodda moved to Beechworth to start his own winemaking label after spending more than a decade at Oakridge Wines in the Yarra Valley. It's safe to say that Adrian's knowledge of crafting wines from Chardonnay is up there with the best in the country, making several cuvées with fruit sourced from multiple sites across Victoria.
