The Ciel Sous Chef Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from grapes sourced from a single vineyard in the Marananga region of the Barossa Valley.

The fruit is basket pressed and then naturally fermented using Indigenous yeast and is hand plunged 3 times daily for 10 days. It is then placed in 15% new French Oak and American Oak and barrel fermented for 15 months maturation.

Whilst being thick and juicy, it is extremely perfumed with violet notes on the nose to deliver a wine displaying characteristics of ripe blackberries and raspberries with softly integrated notes of oak on the palette.

Like its namesake, the Sous Chef Cabernet Sauvignon is the lead support in the Icon Collection of Ciel wines. The Head Chef's right hand man. Rough but refined, the Sous Chef is ready to jump out of the glass. Following in the Head Chef's steps, the hands of the Sous Chef are just as important. Bold, spontaneous, consistent, passionate.
