Region and Vintage Conditions
This wine comes from the renowned Coonawarra region, with its famed terra rossa soils and cool-climate influence. The 2021 vintage benefited from ample sunlight and warm autumn days, allowing the grapes to reach full maturity and deliver rich flavour and structure.
Source
Grapes are selected from carefully managed vineyards in Coonawarra with moderately cropping vines, chosen for their ability to produce Cabernet Sauvignon with deep fruit, refined tannins and regional signature notes of eucalyptus and cedar.
Winemaking
The fruit is handled gently to retain purity and structure. Ageing in oak brings depth, soft spice and a clean cedar character without overpowering the fruit. The style highlights Cabernets natural intensity while keeping the wine smooth and balanced with the ability to age well.
Tasting Notes
Appearance Deep crimson with fresh purple hues.
Aroma Blackcurrant and plum with charry cedar wood and a touch of eucalyptus.
Palate Rich red berry fruit, cassis and gentle chocolate notes. Soft tannins give the wine a smooth feel and enough structure to age gracefully.
Finish Long, balanced and supported by berry fruit, cedar and subtle eucalyptus.
Key Characteristics
- Bold dark fruit with a clean regional lift
- Soft but structured tannins
- Cedar, chocolate and cassis flavours

Food Pairing
Great with roast beef, lamb, slow-cooked meals, hard cheeses and other rich, savoury dishes. It is a reliable choice for hearty meals and will continue to open up with time.
