Clos de Luz Massal 1945 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Expect juicy red stone fruits and dark berries lifted with plenty of baking spice, shaved dark chocolate, pipe tobacco and orange zest. It has the tannins and acid to age, but the softness (and price!) to say, “Why wait?”

The Clos du Luz winery has been family run since 1892, with the estate initially purchased by current owner Gabriel Edwards' great grandfather, and the vineyards planted in 1945 by Gabriel's great grandmother, Luz. This parcel of cabernet sauvignon is planted using 100% Massal selection as opposed to the more common practice of clonal selection. Essentially, this means that any new vine material is propagated from existing vines from the same site - leading to increased genetic diversity and heightened, unique individual vineyard characteristics over time.

This wine is certainly unique, and yet classic cabernet sauvignon notes are found throughout. Trust us, you’re going to want at least 6 of these!
