Jacques Bruwer, the winemaker initiated a flagship range, called Inkará. Inkará is a play on his children’s names (Inge, Karli and André) and it pays tribute to the fourth generation of Bruwer’s on the Estate.
Since its launch in 2001, this premium range has proven to produce excellent wines. These wines are produced only from single vineyards. Both the Inkará Shiraz and Inkará Cabernet Sauvignon have been recognized for their superior quality.
A classic red from a noble cultivar; this comlex wine features rich spicy flavours and smokiness on the nose. It is a finely balanced wine to suit every discerning palate and will achieve greater body and a more velvet feel with another two years of careful cellaring.

It calls for good quality meat dishes including steak, stews or a roast and can be enjoyed with a selection of cheeses.

Dave Hughes - Internationally acclaimed wine writer :
Another fine new introduction. Blackberry, cherry and herbs dominate big nose. Clean oak backing with hints of vanilla and spice. Big, rounded mouth with layers of developing flavour. Sweet fruit in abundance with lively, well-rounded tannins. Long sweet fruited, tannin backed, finish. Fairly accessible now but will well reward ¾ years and will develop over another 5 to 6. Gorgeous wine that needs food and friends.

ageing : Drink now but can be aged for 4 years laying down.

in the vineyard : Age of vineyards: 4 - 6 years

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested at 27º Balling.
