An easy-drinking, delicious Cabernet Sauvignon. Gamekeeper is the expression of Barossa Cabernet, lifted blackcurrant and blackberry notes, violets and varietal herbal leaf characters. A firm structure of ripe tannins, in support of savoury olive and dark bramble berry flavours, perfumed by the classic mintiness which is the hallmark of all things St Hallett. The Barossa Cabernet of choice to accompany simple and delicious dishes such as grilled chorizo and halloumi cheese as well as old favourites like steak and Guinness pie or a juicy gourmet beef burger.

2002 Charles Melton Sparkling Red, Charles Melton
£8500Add to BasketCharlie Melton uses the traditional Australian technique for their sparkling red, as pioneered by Seppelts at Great Western. The base wine is aged for around two years or so in oak and then tirage bottled and left on lees for up to four years. This gives a complex aromatic of fruit sweetness and classic autolysis character and fine bubble. An important factor is the liquering dosage as this degree of sweetness ensures they will develop for decades.
This 2002 Sparkling red was disgorged in August 2005 so has had a further 16 years in bottle. It is an incredible bottle of wine and still has decades to go! Rich black cherry and plum on the nose with a delightful charry element. It has a fine mousse with powerful red and black fruits. Spicy, dense with a beguiling sweetness. It has a tight, dense core of rich fruit. Off-dry and has fabulous intensity and complexity. Fabulous!

In Egyptian mythology, Amon-Ra is considered to be the king of all gods. The temple of Amon-Ra was believed to be the first temple to ever plant a monoculture vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple.
The eye on front of the label is the all-seeing eye of Horus or wedjat (“whole one”) – a powerful Egyptian symbol of protection. It is represented as a figure with six parts, corresponding to what Egyptians regarded as the six senses; touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell and thought.
