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.
