About This Wine

The Majella Cabernet Sauvignon first appeared in 1994 and has since acquired a reputation as one of Coonawarra’s finest.

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. Another very good vintage in a run of good vintages since 2012.

Majella Cabernet Sauvignon is 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 separate to assess batch quality prior to blending and bottling off site.

Tasting Notes

The wine is dark magenta in colour, with a deep red hue.

Mint, eucalypt, dark fruit and savoury aromas are evident on the nose, with a well structured palate with lots of minty / cassis flavours and fine tannins with good length.
