FREDERICK STEVENSON CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2022

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Steve Crawford¿s wine career began before he could vote, but it took him some time to pitch his own label, wary as he was of just injecting another range, much like the other ones, into a saturated market. Extensive forays into Italy and France gave shape to a sensibility that changed that, and his alias Frederick Stevenson was born. Crawford has a free-spirited approach to making wine, with no easy category fitting his style, but what is always apparent is the wines have an apparent flow, an unforced feel that never dips into ponderous intensity or ragged experimentation they¿re confident wines, but expressed with laid back ease. YOUNG GUN OF WINE

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from 1960s planted vines situated in Vine Vale, Barossa Valley. Currently tended to by Wayne Ahrens and Suzie Hilder. The label, much like the wine, is a nostalgic throw back to some labels of old and features the heritage listed church that we use as our winery and sometimes cellar door of Oddio in Bowden, Adelaide. 

6-7 weeks on skins. 2nd use french oak for 14 months on lees. 2 months in stainless steel prior to bottle.The intent was to create a luncheon claret styled wine, that has nice balance of fruit weight, tannin and acidity, without being too dense, dark and tough. FREDERIC STEVENSON
