The Wine Front – Strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, brown spices and mint. It’s bright and frisky, a pleasing pumice stone texture, a cranberry crunch gives freshness, and the finish offers good length. Lots of energy and good to drink. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front Nov 2023

About This Wine

Vineyard Notes
The summer of 2020 was dry and the vintage was characterised by lighter crops across the region. Made from 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, these parcels were matured for 12 months in 46% new French oak.

Tasting Notes
A medium bodied wine with a complex nose of lifted dark fruit and subtle seaweed notes. The palate shows intense blackcurrant and underlying vanilla, with a firm yet supple tannin structure and great length.

Coonawarra Wine

The Coonawarra wine region is most known for its Cabernet Sauvignon that is produced on red “terra rossa” soil. This clay soil is one of the most notable in the “New World” of wine covering an area of only 15kmx2km. The terra rossa soil also overlies soft, penetrable limestone and it is this uncommon combination that makes this region so special.

“Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted variety in the world and Coonawarra is one of the few regions where free draining soils and maritime ripening conditions achieve the ultimate varietal expression.” Coonawarra.org

From Coonawarra Cabernet you can expect a medium bodied red with powerful yet polished tannins, luscious dark berry fruit, herb and mint flavours as well as satisfying length.

While half of region’s production is Cabernet, the limestone soils also suit planting of Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon blanc.
