David O'Leary really knows about things Cabernet Sauvignon, having claimed a Jimmy Watson Trophy and being twice named International Red Wine Maker of the Year. Very much a fruit driven Cabernet wine reflecting the idyllic growing conditions of Clare Valley, from low yielding vines up to fifty years old, grown to superior sites within the Armagh Valley and Polish Hill River districts.
O'Leary Walker is the culmination of two like minded winemakers. David O'Leary worked for Heemskerk and Chateau Reynella, he was group red winemaker for Hardy's and later at Mildara Blass. He held senior winemaking roles at Quelltaller where he launched Annies Lane. Nick Walker took up residence at Krondorf for sixteen years and was also at Yellowglen and Yarra Ridge. Cabernet grapes are destemmed but not crushed, into two and four tonnes fermenters. Natural yeast is added as the ferments are hand plunged and pumped over to control temperature and flavour. Upon completion, the wine is macerated, pressed and run into small French oak hogsheads for up to twenty months maturation. Alcohol 14.0%
TASTING NOTES
Deep brick red with a slight purple tinge. Bouqet offers fragrant perfumes of blackcurrant, cassis and juicy berry fruits with a hint of cedar and spice. The contrasting influences of Armagh Valley and Polish Hill form synergy. Fine tannin and acid structure with powerful fruit, blueberries and violets, exhibiting great depth and length. A very solid Cabernet wine with true character, highly varietal, the palate is rich and powerful, balanced with good acidity and fine grain tannin, a style which the Clare Valley has done well for many years.

More About OLeary Walker Winery
O'Leary Walker Wines is the culmination of two like minded winemakers that met over twenty years ago
Established in 2001 by David O'Leary and Nick Walker, their philosophy is pretty simple, source the best grapes from the best vineyard sites and craft great wine. O'Leary Walker is based at Leasingham in the Clare Valley, South Australia, but they don't limit themselves to producing just Clare Valley wines. O'Leary Walker also source fruit from other premium grape growing districts in South Australia including the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and McLaren Vale. The theory behind this is to draw on the grape varieties that excel in these quite different viticultural climates. OLeary Walker»
