V&A Lane is a long, straight road that dissects Coonawarra's famous terra rossa strip at its midpoint. Estimated to be surveyed in the 1850s, the lane divides the original electorates of Victoria and Albert. Traditionally, it has been used as a landmark to separate northern and southern vineyards in Coonawarra, and is a prestigious and sought after locality for growing both exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
This wine honours Wynns' prized vineyards along V & A Lane. The distinctive fruit from these vineyards has a signature density and richness; the defining characteristic of this location along the Coonawarra strip.76% Cabernet Sauvignon 24% Shiraz
Deep Crimson. Violets lead in to dark plum and seamlessly on to classical Cassis. Dark chocolate layers come from the oak, which is strong enough to provide structure without overpowering. Rich and even, with velvety tannins filling the mouth. Brambly Cabernet notes are foiled by fragrant spicy Shiraz, and the structural Cabernet is given a silky, gentle but lingering finish. Focused acid balances the dense fruit, and will carry this wine well into old age.Cellar carefully for 5 - 12 years
