  • TASTING NOTE: Dark red with a brick red hue. The bouquet is elegant and inviting, notes of cedar and leather combine beautifully with rich Christmas pudding flavours and the quintessential Coonawarra “sea spray” note. The palate opens with a burst of cedar, blackberry and mocha. It is a structural yet generous wine, dark and brooding with restraint and promise of the enjoyment for years to come. Yalumba
  • ABOUT THE WINE: Situated in the heart of Coonawarra’s terra rossa strip, The Menzies Estate vineyard lies on a flat plain, approximately 70km from the coast. Given the terrain and influence of the cooling Bonney upwelling, Coonawarra is an ideal location to grow premium Cabernet Sauvignon. Our soil is red sandy loam over limestone, which is classic Cabernet Sauvignon country. Matured for 22 Months in30% new French hogsheads and barriques, balance in 1 year and older French, Hungarian and American hogsheads & barriques. Yalumba
  • ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Owned and run by the Hill-Smith family, Yalumba has a long commitment to quality and great vision in its selection of vineyard sites, new varieties and brands. It has always been a serious player at the top end of full-bodied Australian reds and was a pioneer in the use of screwcaps. Encompassing everything our family stands for and the perfect representation of our history and ethos. In 1992 the Hill-Smith family counted themselves amongst those fortunate enough to own a vineyard upon the famous Coonawarra terra rossa soil over limestone. Experimentation, innovation, minimalist intervention and small batch winemaking has resulted in The Menzies’ reputation as a wine of longevity, elegance and structure.
