TAPESTRY
(McLAREN VALE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA)
www.tapestrywines.com.au
Situated right in the heart of South Australia’s premier wine region of McLaren Vale, Tapestry
Vineyard's rich ironstone soils and cool coastal climate provide ideal conditions for producing
well structured and richly flavoured wines of exceptional quality. The major source of fruit for
our McLaren Vale Tapestry brand is harvested from our own vines. The vines span two
vineyards within the McLaren Vale Wine Region. Both vineyards are very low yielding and
produce fruit and wines with intense flavour and concentration.
The Olivers Road Vineyard is located around the Cellar Door and Tapestry Cellar Door site on
Olivers Road about 1 mile (1.6km) from the Main Street of McLaren Vale. A new planting of
0.8 Hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon was completed in 2002), CW44 clone, single wire VSP
planned. Its first crop was in 2005 and formed the basis for our new "Vineyard Blend" Rose.
The Bakers Gully Vineyard is located at the elevated Eastern end of Chapel Hill Road at the
Southern end of Bakers Gully.

Winemaker Jonathan Ketley
Vineyards The fruit is from our own vineyards (Tapestry's Bakers Gully Vineyard, McLaren Vale)
planted in 1970 and is the sole source for this wine. Low yield contributes to the
concentrated colour, aroma and depth of this wine.
Vinification/
Maturation
Aged in new French hogsheads (30%), new Central European hogsheads (10%), new
American hogsheads (7.7%) and second & third use French (56%). Bottle maturation will
further soften the palate through integration of fruit and oak tannins.
Tasting Notes Deep dark red with a prominent cherry hue.
Intense mint, blackcurrant and supported eucalyptus, all typical characteristics of this
variety in this vineyard. Oak influence adds sweet spice.
Elegant soft pallet, cherry-like fruit characters, round middle with gentle acidity and
fine tannins balancing the palate.
Serve with Braised Kangaroo Shanks with wild thyme. Slow cooked until meat is almost falling off
the bones served with mash & steamed broccolini.
Cellaring This wine is easily enjoyed now but as all traditional Cabernet Sauvignon’s will benefit
from 6 to 8 years of maturation, after which time it should be decanted before serving.

subdued the strong grapefruit skin and pith aromas and flavours.”
