Penola is one of the original producers in Coonawarra and they have a long and healthy track record with their Cabernet. This wine is elegant and well balanced with loads of dark fruits, a decent dollop of spicy oak and impressive length and character. It is medium bodied and finishes with nice some tannic grip. This is a Coonawarra Cabernet that will save on the purse strings and amaze the senses. Pairs up perfectly with a rich beef dish.

A wine to forget about under the bed for a few years. Drying tomato leaf, peppercorn, small goods and blackcurrant showing on the nose. The palate is a hint of things to come, superb length and weight with subtle dark fruit and elegant tannin structure.

One of the true icons of the Coonawarra is available here. Concerntrated fruit of blackcurrant with beautifully balanced lashing of cigar box and cedar. One definitely for the cellar or for that great quality steak.

This top Cabernet comes from a fifth-generation winemaker whose ancestors planted some of the first vines in South Australia in 1837. Halliday calls it “a distinguished estate with a proud history, long renowned for its Cabernet”. Winestate Magazine gives it an impressive Five Stars: "A very pretty dark fruit/blackcurrant bouquet and good depth and concentration of sweet primary varietal flavours on the fresh, tight and vibrant palate that has a soft tannin structure...5 Stars" (Winestate Magazine)

The Max Schubert Cabernet Shiraz is testament to Penfolds' winemaking philosophy and the art of multi-regional blending. A wine with great complexity and length, which combines the intense red fruits with leathery oak and savoury tannins. This Penfolds will drink beautifully now yet it also has the structure for careful cellaring.

Majella Cabernet Sauvignon is a classy Cabernet that is a cut above the rest when compared against anything at a similar price. Classic cassis, cedar and herbs are underlined by beautifully handled oak.

One of the longest living and slowest to mature of modern Coonawarra red wines, sourced from hand-pruned vineyards in the centre and extreme north of the region. Only released in good to great years.

Showing a lifted perfumed nose of blackcurrant and mulberry fruit and followed up by a lingering spicy chocolate oak character. Rich blackcurrant, blackberry fruit are upfront with hints of nutmeg oak flavours finishing the palate. Supple varietal tannins give classical framework and weight to the wine which finishes with lingering chocolate oak, velvety tannins and an elegant finish.

Coonawarra is regarded as Australia's premier region for Cabernet Sauvignon.
