BOV stands for Best Of Vintage. The 2018 vintage was hailed as one of the better vintages in the last 10 years and Rebecca Willson has put together a 76% Shiraz, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon blend in a sleekly packaged bottle. 100 Dozen produced of this barrel selection with parcels kept separate and blended after 21 months oak maturation. Bottled under Diam (under wax).

Bremerton Wines, BOV, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Langhorne Creek, 2018

Deep garnet with a bright rim. Earthy and full nose. Hints of eucalypt over chocolate, cassis, white pepper, rose petals, damson plums, dried herbs, pencil, cigar box and bramble. Powerful and well constructed this is a 10 year plus cellaring option yet for now it offers tightly packed dark fruits with a bright flourish and firm, pervasive tannins. Exceptionally long finish.
