Witchmount Estate sits on the edge of the Sunbury wine region, almost in Melbourne's outer suburbs. This isn't the first time one of its wines has been Wine of the Week in Uncorked, such is the consistency of quality under the direction of the Ramunno family and winemaker Stephen Goodwin. Lowen Park Cabernet '08 opens with concentrated, lush blackberry and blackcurrant fruit aromas, while a deft touch of vanillin oak is perfectly integrated. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied, velvety, lingering in flavour, well balanced and complete. A crowd-pleasing cabernet of generous personality at a great price.
