The marriage between Coonawarra soils and the noble Cabernet Sauvignon grape have long been known to produce wines of outstanding quality and longevity. Majority of this blend has benefited from the terra rossa over limestone soils of our ‘Abbey’ estate vineyard located in southern Coonawarra. The unique micro climate within this part of the region produces an extended ripening period which tightens the tannin structure and increases the fruit density.
Generous Cabernet notes of blackcurrant and blackberries on the front palate. Savoury and earthy notes of cigar box and forest floor move through to fine, elegant tannins to create a lingering finish. A balanced, vibrant wine showing regional Coonawarra flavours.
Coonawarra is such a unique region in the Australian wine landscape and this wine just encapsulates what I love about it. Dust, fruit and blood all mingle together in harmony. The palate is perfect luncheon claret weight, medium-bodied yet driving long. Tannins resolved already but it will age for many years 01 JUL 2020 Drink 2020–2032

Made from cabernet grapes grown on the Abbey vineyard in southern Coonawarra.
Good cabernet. Well made and indeed priced. Blackurrant, mint, dark chocolate and briar. A creaminess to the texture but gently/appropriately applied. Tannin as a fine-grained sheet. It’s not profound but it’s hard to go wrong here.
