Winery & Vintage Info
The Majella Cabernet Sauvignon first appeared in 1994 and has since acquired a reputation as one of Coonawarra’s finest.
Majella Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 was fermented in both static and rotary stainless steel fermenters with fermentation being completed in 300 litre barrels and the wine was then aged for a further 18 months in new and second use French oak hogsheads. All Cabernet Sauvignon parcels are kept seperate to access batch quality prior to blending and bottling off site.
A cool growing season and above average winter rains leading into the
2017 vintage saw the region return to what could be best described as a more
traditional Coonawarra vintage. The cooler conditions resulted in budburst being delayed by up to three weeks, with flowering two weeks later. A mild Summer followed, with a welcome spell of hot days in late January. These factors saw harvest commence towards the end of March and continue through to early May.
Coonawarra has not had a vintage which commenced this late since the
outstanding 2004 vintage. The major concern was the highly variable weather
which can occur at this time of year.
The start of vintage saw red varietals, albeit at lower sugar levels than recent
vintages showing excellent colour and concentrated fruit flavours.
Reports of good quality wines in tanks around the area are common, with
winemakers being impressed with the deep colour and elegant fruit flavours
of the reds. Winery Notes
