Broken Slate Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$14.00On my 2024 new year’s list is spending more time in the Clare Valley. We know the wines are great, as good as any made globally, yet they do have a twist to them. What creates this character will have something to do with the how the unusual geography reacts with the climate weather.
