Majella Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Magenta in colour with a deep red hue, the Majella Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 has mint, eucalypt and dark fruit aromas evident on the nose. A palate of cassis fruit and spice rounds out a generous well structured finish with the oak and tannin concentration rewarding your patience.

Universally regarded as one of Coonawarra's greatest wines, the Majella Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 continues to win trophies and medals throughout Australia and the world.
Majella Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 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.
The growing season was drier than average, and careful irrigation to optimise flavour development worked very well. Harvest was two weeks early, the result of a warmer than average October which advanced the whole season. There was a cooler finish with mild ripening conditions. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz have full palate richness whilst being medium bodied with fine tannins and excellent colour. Whites have good natural acidities this year, and show a lot of freshness and tang, with fine fruit flavours. Winery Notes
