Pumpa is Sons of Eden's tribute to one of the pioneers of Eden Valley viticulture, Len Pumpa. The 2016 has a much higher proportion of Cabernet in the blend being made up of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Shiraz meaning that it can be labelled as Cabernet Sauvignon. Maturation took place in a mix of new and seasoned French and American oak hogsheads for 15 months.

A superb Eden Valley Cabernet that sees rich layers of gorgeous red and black fruits married to an elegant frame.

A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Shiraz. Displays a deeply coloured black dark red core with a dark red hue. Flowing from the glass are beautifully scented aromatics of red and blackcurrant tinged with mulberry followed by vanillin cedar, subtle notes of tobacco, liquorice and spice. Fleshy and supple with a beautiful mid palate richness and exceptionally refined tannins the palate possesses outstanding power yet also shows a gentle elegance. Generous red and blackcurrant, mulberry and subtle liquorice flavours are in the drivers seat with ensuing well integrated cedary tobacco characters and spice adding interest. Great balance and structure finishing very long with ripe and blackcurrant fruit, some mulberry, subtle liquorice, some cedary tobacco characters and spicy dried herb characters.
Cellar 5-6 years.
