A relatively new addition to the Wynns stable to compliment the Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz Merlot and the Coonawarra Shiraz, The Siding Cabernet Sauvignon brings lovely varietal and regional character in a Cabernet that is approachable on release, but also benefits from a few years in the medium term cellar.

Stonyfell's pioneering spirit was born in 1858 when newly arrived immigrant Henry Clarke established vineyards in South Australia. Some 150 years later, the Stonyfell name is inextricably linked with the innovation and excellence of the Australian wine industry. Proof of which was the fact that Stonyfell 'Metala' Shiraz Cabernet was the inaugural winner of the Jimmy Watson Trophy in 1962! Today, Stonyfell is a full-bodied Langhorne Creek stunner that is a concentrated amalgam of black berry, chocolate and spice with hints of toasty vanilla. Made for immediate enjoyment or to keep in the cellar for the short term.
