Tim Gramp is a fifth generation direct descendant of the wine family that made the Barossa Valley-based company, Orlando, famous. Wine is flowing through Tim’s veins, and his heritage and focussed commitment have nurtured and reinforced his winemaking philosophy: to produce exceptional wine from small parcels of fruit selected from single-site vineyards in the famous wine sub-region of Watervale, Clare Valley.

Tim Gramp Watervale Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
As the wine name tells us, this is basket pressed. It feels more medium bodied than the alcohol (14.5%) suggests. Slick with satiny tannins, imbued with blueberry and mulberry fruit characters, seasoned with clove and cigar box savoury elements and generally looking a bit claret-like. Ready for drinking and doing cabernet proud in Clare, it's pitched perfectly between all its elements and drinkability is high. Tasted on a cool day in a cool cellar, and it worked like that – don't drink without 10 minutes in the fridge, is the message. A gem.
Rating: 93 Points, Special Value
