2019 RCV 'The Dancer' Cabernet Sauvignon

This sixth vintage release wine has been handcrafted from our viticulturalist Rob Smyth’s vineyards. These aged vines produce small yields of premium quality fruit with
concentrated flavours and balanced acidity.

Hand-picked at optimal ripeness, our winemaker Justin Ardill uses traditional winemaking techniques of 10-day open fermentation, cold soaking, prolonged skin contact and hand plunging before gently pressing to extract maximum colour, flavour and tannin from the berries.

Maturation in French oak hogsheads for 24 months has allowed development of smooth vanilla oak characteristics. RCV wines are limited release and are only made when the vintage is judged to be of the absolute highest quality.

Renowned South Australian artist Tom Gleghorn OAM was our artist in residence for 2010 vintage and has created this beautiful artwork for our labels which are individually numbered, adding to our collection of Gleghorn wine labels. Inspired by an Aboriginal tribal dance, Tom has called this painting ‘The Landscape Dancer’.

Profile  |  This is a full-bodied wine showing layers of rich dark berry fruits with hints of dark chocolate and mint. The wine displays well integrated oak and smooth, silky mouth feel with a long lingering finish.

2018 RCV 'Pressings' Shiraz

This exquisite wine has been handcrafted from some of the oldest, dry grown Shiraz vineyards in the Clare Valley. These old vines produce small yields of premium quality fruit with concentrated flavours and balanced acidity. Handpicked at optimal ripeness, our winemaker Justin Ardill uses traditional winemaking techniques of open fermentation and hand plunging before gently pressing to extract maximum colour, flavour, and tannin from the berries.

This wine is crafted from 100% pressings juice giving it great depth of colour and rich, complex flavours while maturation in new French oak for 24 months has allowed the development of smooth balanced oak characteristics. RCV wines are of limited release and are only made when the vintage is judged to be of the absolute highest quality seen for many years.

Profile | This is a rich, full-bodied wine showing layers of succulent dark fruit flavours and a touch of spice, mocha, sweet vanilla, and aniseed. The wine finishes with well-integrated oak and a smooth, silky mouth feel with firm lingering tannins.
