Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot South Australia
Description: The reputation of Wynns Coonawarra Estate stretches back four decades to 1951 when David Wynn recognised the potential quality of Coonawarra's wines. He purchased the original cellars built by John Riddoch in 1896 and began a winemaking legacy that continues to this day. The only blend in the range, Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot captures all the elegant fruit character that Coonawarra has to offer in a wine that drinks best while relatively young. The Cabernet provides flavour, length and structure; the Shiraz imparts a spicy complexity and richness, while the Merlot adds softness. The resulting red offers a rich balance of varietal characters in a smooth and approachable wine. Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon , Shiraz and Merlot . Oak Maturation: Matured for 10 months in a mix of new and used American and French oak barrels. Colour: Deep red with purple hues. Nose: Fragrant, leafy aromas with hints of mint and eucalyptus underlined with dusty oak. Palate: The palate is earthy and supple with soft, dark, berry fruit with a spicy finish and fresh aftertaste. This wine is made for current drinking, thus would only benefit from short-term cellaring. (6 x 75 cl)

Balnaves of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Description: The Cabernet Sauvignon is deep red in colour and has a rich and complex nose of black fruits, mineral, liquorice and French oak perfumes. On the palate it is rich and powerful, balancing intense, sweet fruit with dark chocolate, a hint of leather and ripe tannins. It has a good structure, with a long, fine finish. The Balnaves estate in Coonawarra has been in the family for three generations. Planted in 1975, the vineyard covers 48 hectares and is planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon. Balnaves is rare not only for the length of time the family has been in the region but also for the fact that it is a 10,000 case winery in a region dominated by the ‘corporates.’ However, they stand out most of all for the stellar quality of their wines. Balnaves Cabernet Sauvignon ranks as one of Australia’s best examples of this variety. Winemaker Pete Bissell’s achievements were recently recognised when he was named Quantas Winemaker of the Year 2005 in a hotly contested race. (12 x 75 cl)

Balnaves of Coonawarra SPARKLING NV Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Description: Rich and complex with blackcurrant, blackberry and sweet earth mature Coonawarra Cabernet characters, this wine is ready to drink on release, however it will gain complexity and softness with careful cellaring. Drink very cold during summer as a refreshing start to any meal. Produced by Balnaves since 1992 this wine is made in the traditional style of Australian Sparkling Burgundies although most of these are made with Shiraz. Balnaves have chosen Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to make this modern sparkling burgundy as we believe Cabernet Sauvignon, of all the grapes grown in Coonawarra, shows the most character and consistency.The base blend was put together and matured in well seasoned French oak for 12 months and then tiraged in July . The wine was again matured in bottles on yeast lees for 19 months to gain softness and complexity followed by disgorging in February . Mature vintage port and concentrated grape juice was used to sweeten the final wine, . (6 x 75 cl)
