Description
Named as a tribute to Len Pumpa, a pioneering Eden Valley grower back in the 1920s who preserved the vineyards that they are custodians of today. Co-owners, Corey Ryan (cut his teeth” as winemaker at Henschke for 10 years) winemaker and Simon Cowham (ex-viticulturist Yalumba) have weaved their magic with this release.
A fine blend of Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 87%, Shiraz 13% (50 odd year old vineyard with minuscule yields 1- 2 ton per acre, All parcels hand harvested and fermented separately in small 1 – 2 tonne open fermenters) followed by 15 months in predominantly French oak…. Plush aromatic dark cherry fruit complemented by cassis and cedar notes of cabernet sauvignon and a touch of tempranillo which adds a savoury undertone and softens the fine grained and textured tannins. Rich ripe fruit with power and great length of flavour is a reflection of how well these varieties from Eden Valley marry together.

2021 was an exceptional vintage with ripe balanced quality fruit. Cabernet fruit from northern Eden Valley grown on terra rossa soils produced delicious cassis cabernet characters with the long slow ripening season. Shiraz came from Moculta in Eden valley. This is very classy Eden valley cabernet. 14.5% Alc. Enjoy now or cellar until 2027.
92 points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion “With 11% shiraz for good measure, matured in a mix of old and new oak for 2 months. I like the approach the Sons take to oak in their wines, it never intrudes. Here, wonderfully varietal and regional flavours of ripe blackberry and black cherry mesh with brown spices, licorice, briar, bay leaf, earth and softly spoken cedary notes. It’s a lovely pure wine, making finely honed, elegant drinking.”
