Product notes

Our Menzies Estate Vineyard lies in the heart of Coonawarra on the famous terra rossa soil over limestone. This valuable patch of land is the holy grail of all Cabernet purists; with soil vivid red in colour, it is perfect for growing exceptional full-bodied red wines.

Production notes

Matured for 17 months in 18% new French oak barriques and hogsheads, balance in one year and older French oak barriques and hogsheads.

Tasting notes

Deep crimson in colour, medium to full depth in hue. The bouquet shows blackcurrant and mulberry fruit aromas, supported by savoury cedar oak with hints of mocha. A vibrant palate of violets and mulberries balanced by notes of chocolate and blackcurrant. The finish is long and lingering with powdery tannins.
