Estate grown and hand picked from the vineyards surrounding Hundred Tree Homestead on Sally’s Hill including the famous Sally’s Paddock vineyard. These exceptional varietal wines reflect the wonderful idiosyncratic characters and flavours of Redbank grapes and the unique style of Sally’s Paddock wines. Made in small batches, hand punched, wild yeast fermented and basket pressed, these wines truly express the potential of single varieties from our non-irrigated vines, which were planted in 1973.
A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon 34% Cabernet Franc, the 2014 vintage was fine and warm and it shone through in a good crop of excellent quality grapes from Sally’s Hill. The wine opens with fragrant ripe red fruits, cassis, mixed herbs and floral aromas. As it opens, darker berries, spices and violets arise. Wood aged maturity is also evident. Good palate intensity due to firm tannins with dark cherry liqueur and plum flavours predominating. Generous fruit, oak spice and black and white pepper add complexity, depth and structure resulting in a long savoury finish. Can be enjoy now, but will continue to develop in bottle for the next 10-15 years.

The Sally’s Paddock is the jewel in the Redbank crown. Named after winemaker Neill Robb’s wife, Sally’s Paddock is a distinctive wine made from a single non-irrigated vineyard established in 1973 at Redbank. The Sally’s Paddock vineyard grows modest crops of exceptional quality Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Merlot which are hand-picked at optimum balance, small batch made with wild yeast, hand punched, basket pressed all in the old Australian way. Extended use of new American and Nevers oak ensures that the characteristics of the unique blend from this legendary vineyard are conserved in the wine until ultimate maturity. It is universally regarded as one of Australia’s classic red wines.
This powerful wine has a clear Ruby Violet colour with a tinge of purple. Distinctive legs as usual. The fresh berry aromas have a definite cigar box background with some Rose and Violet floral notes. Some lifted spice and cherry aromas are evident as well. Definite, balanced and fine palate, fresh and tasting of berries but overall wine flavoured. Subtle and complex new wood flavours are well integrated. Some dark cherry flavours on the front palate. The middle palate is “wine” all the way with lingering complex savoury flavours but more fresh fruit characters than the previous vintages. Fine grained natural tannins. Very long soft clean finish with hints of spices and a lovely aftertaste. This wine is deceptively soft, as usual with Sally’s Paddocks at this stage, and will mature beautifully for at least 20 years.

The lovely Garnet colour, with red tinged edges indicate this wines innate complexity.
Lifted aromas of the rose petals and dark berry fruits dominate, some clove spice and dark cherry show in the background. Typically unusual Pyrenees Pinot Noir in the Redbank Winery style.
The palate is earthy and savoury with ample body showing subtle cloves and star anise spices. Lifted berry fruits, plum and light spicy notes lead to an extremely long, dry finish. Firm acidity, well integrated oak and fine tannins give a well balanced wine that has been matured to its optimal drinking age. Aged in old oak puncheons for three years this wine should improve for 5 to 10 years in the cellar.
