Classic Coonawarra - cassis, blackcurrant and dark plums rule the fruit profile whilst the regional characters of eucalypt and allspice pick up the slack. As soon as this wine hits the glass, it's unmistakably Coonawarra, unashamedly bold and unsurprisingly vibrant. 18 months in a mix of French and American barrels brings a complexity to the oak profile and fullness that will leave this wine in seriously good nick for as long your patience lasts.

Nothing get us wine lovers more excited than old vines— the beautiful, wrinkled trunks growing thick and heavy on themselves, the roots burrowing deep into the soils and the wines, the resulting wines, adding layers of complexity and depth not found from younger vines. At over 110 years of age, you can picture how stunning these old vines are and the resulting wine speaks for itself. Crafted from a vintage that will drink well young but also reward extended cellaring, allowing itself to reveal all of its potential and nuances. The perfect wine for a special occasion or dinner, or better yet, a treat for yourself.

This family winery have been landowners in Coonawarra for over 100 years. They are Coonawarra experts and the jewel in their crown is, of course, cabernet sauvignon. Their wines consistently score highly with critics and this 2020 cellar release is a showcase of a deep understanding of the land and masterstroke winemaking.

The blackberry fruit concentration is immense and elevated by fine, dancing tannin. It wouldn't be Coonawarra without the marriage of mint and tobacco, rounding out mouth-feel and driving complexity. This is fantastic drinking now and will age gracefully for another decade.
