Tanunda's annual Kingship Competition was a highly prized event in South Australia. With fears of invasion and world conflict during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, the Tanunda Rifle Club (1856-1940) promoted skills of bearing arms and marksmanship. The best riflemen competed with each other to become the’ famed ‘King’ marksman of the year. The pursuit of accuracy and the defence of place are the essence of this beautifully crafted Kingship Cabernet Sauvignon, with fruit sourced from our vineyard on Rifle Range Road, home of the former Tanunda Rifle Club. Intense & vibrant Crimson hue with lifted dark berry cassis aromatics and hints of dried Sage. Intricately interwoven Blackberry and Mulberry fruit characteristics are complemented by nuances cassis and warming spice. Silky fine long tannins supported by well integrated French oak lead to a long, persistent finish. This is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon showcasing the quality of this varietal when grown on the rustic soils of the Barossa Valley.
