It is born only by overcoming difficulties.
The grapes for this wine grow under difficult conditions.
Only true courage and determination can produce great results.
Determined Cabernet vines send roots down steep, rocky slopes, reaching deep in search of vital moisture, while indomitable Pinot Noir vines brave the inhospitable conditions, exposed to wind and fog, vying for precious hours of warmth and sunlight during their long growing season.
Juggernaut Wines harnesses the power of nature to produce wines that are expressive, compelling and robust, just like the powerful, uncharted beasts depicted on their labels.
What makes hillside vineyards special for Cabernet? Steep hillside vineyards pose the ultimate challenge.
The mountainous terrain challenges both growers and vines.
But the results are undoubtedly impressive.
These hillside fields have less water supply and the rocky soil means less nutrients.
These conditions stress the vines, resulting in very small yields.
In these harsh conditions, grapes struggle to grow, producing fewer bunches and smaller berries.
The result is fruit that is richly ripe and intensely concentrated in flavour and complexity.
Our hillside fields are special.
And the wine that comes out of it is special too.
Animal on label: Lion Big-boned, strong, muscular...it's easy to think of Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of the wine kingdom.
As Juggernaut's first wine, it only made sense to feature an animal on the label that is as fierce, memorable and majestic as the wine itself.
Full-bodied and complex, it offers layers of dark fruit, mocha and subtle toasty oak.
Fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity lead to a long, refined finish with notes of oak and spice.
