About This Wine
You can’t talk about this wine without talking about its colour. So deep, vibrant and purple it stains your glass (hot tip – leave the white linen shirt at home)
On the nose it’s pure blackcurrant, red licorice and violet florals. There’s a whisper of blood orange and cinnamon there too.
It’s oh so juicey – really plump, plush and purple. The tannin is layered and slatey, rolling in layers across your tongue intertwined with the generous flavour profile.
No oak – all skin-derived tannins and a balanced finish.
Pairs well with: a cheeky nod to the bartender for a second glass.

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.
