2021 Cabernet Sauvignon

James Halliday Wine Companion Rating
Gold 95 Points

‘How good is Strathbogie Ranges cabernet? It's mighty good, often nudging out the region's fave (shiraz) in the quality stakes.

The MH 21 is such a wine, stunningly so. Composed, complex and offering one of the more enticing aromatic bouquets in cassis, mulberry, black cherry, bush mint and the liveliest of spices. Dark fruits rule the taut, well-structured palate with a juicy swathe of flavour, herbal notes and integrated oak tannins.

Flavours run long and true. This will age superbly.’

Maygars Hill

Strathbogie Ranges Victoria Australia

This 20 acre property was acquired by Jenny Houghton in 1994, for its viticulture potential and as a location for her bed and breakfast cottage.

3 acres was hand planted in 1997 into a light sandy loam. It is ideally situated in the Strathbogie Wine Region right on the border with the Goulburn Valley.

Planting has increased to 6 acres; 2 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 4 acres of Shiraz.

Strict viticultural policy with pruning, spraying and hand picking has achieved the required low yield per vine. This has consistently produced small berries of intense colour and flavour.

The altitude of 200 metres, combined with the light sandy loam and intensive monitoring, has produced grapes that enable a wine of elegance and complexity to be produced.
