The 2024 Denton Shed Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant and modern Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that balances bright fruit purity with savoury structure and cool-climate elegance. Crafted with a restrained winemaking approach, the wine focuses on freshness, fine tannins and regional character rather than heaviness or excessive oak influence. The nose opens with blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum layered alongside violet, bay leaf, cedar and subtle graphite notes. There’s a lifted herbal freshness and gentle earthy complexity that gives the wine impressive detail and energy.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine chalky tannins, juicy dark fruit and bright natural acidity. Fresh blackberry and cassis flavours are supported by savoury spice, subtle dried herbs and a refined mineral edge that carries through the finish. Elegant and structured in style, the wine combines classic Cabernet character with a more vibrant, approachable modern feel.
