The terra rossa over limestone soils of southern Coonawarra have long been a recognised as one of Australia’s best locations to grow the finest of red grape varieties; the cool climate provides extended ripening for wonderful fruit expression, depth and complexity.
Our ‘Abbey’ estate vineyard is located on this brilliant strip of soil and is predominantly planted to Reynell Selection Cabernet Sauvignon - original cuttings from Bordeaux. These vines, planted in 1985, are the backbone of our First Growth.
Tasting notes:
Colour: Deep, ink black with scarlet rim
