About St. Huberts
Established all the way back in 1862 by Hubert de Castella, no relation to the name, St. Huberts was one of the very first wineries in the Yarra Valley and named for the Patron Saint of the Hunt, St. Hubert.

“The Stag is inspired by the tale of a hunt when a great stag valiantly jumped to escape its pursuers and mysteriously disappeared into the fog. We’re still on that hunt today, to find the sturdiest vines and best grapes throughout the North Coast to produce the most sophisticated wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the pursuit of those goals, and to the fight shown by the resilient stag.”

The White Stag

TASTING NOTES:
“Approachable and for immediate enjoyment, this wine at once offers value and quality and is a lush, fresh expression of North Coast winemaking. The wine expresses freshness of fruit, floral and spice intrigue, complexity in its youth, balance and elegance.” (AbV 14.4%, 78% Cabernet Sauvignon 14% Merlot 7% Malbec 1% Petit Verdot)

BARRELS:
10 months with 75% in American oak (20% new) and 25% in stainless steel.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The white stag in real life is merely a deer with leucism, but the White Stag of myth is actually quite the big deal. To the Celts, it was a messenger of the otherworld, domain of the fae. The White Stag was also a mythical creature of Arthurian legend that was able to always evade capture while also signaling a time for the kingdom’s knights to quest. Over in Hungary, the White Stag was thought to have guided Hunor and Magor to Scythia. The White Stag also played a role in the story of Saint Eustace.
