William Jacob Cabernet Sauvignon Single Block, 2021
“This vineyard block clearly deserves to be bottled unblended. Vibrant and agile, it climbs out of the glass to reveal a core of blackcurrants swaddled in eucalypt and cool mint. Textbook. Decant it if drinking now or cellar for as long as patience permits.”

History
Colonel William Light, founder of Adelaide and first Surveyor-General of South Australia, traversed our estate on 13th December 1837, when exploring the north-east of Adelaide. On this historic occasion, he named our town Lyndoch and the surrounding hills Barossa. The Barossa Colonel Light Monument, a life-size bronze statue of Colonel Light on horseback, and the iconic Barossa Manor commemorate the birthplace of the world-famous Barossa wine region on our estate. Generations of our winemakers have dedicated their work to this grand tradition, embodying our heritage of outstanding winemaking in every bottle.
This wine is named after William Jacob who arrived in Australia together with Colonel Light on the First Fleet brigantine Rapid in 1836 and later became his associate. William planted his first vines in 1854 in the Barossa which made him a founder of the world-famous wine region.
