Our First Drop crusade set sail in 2004 with one mission, to bring fun and flavour to the world of wine, and a vow, to make some kick arse booze.

Votum is only bottled when a parcel of rare typicity and quality is discovered that showcases the variety, region and vintage in all its glory.

2005 McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon

Single Vineyard Location: Willunga, McLaren Vale
Soil: Deep alluvial stony clay loam
Elevation: 130m above sea level
Oak Maturation: 20 months sur lie in

A rich expression of the King of varieties, with regal power and elegance, from a noble region in a great vintage.
