Discover the refined elegance of Balnaves of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, a benchmark expression of Coonawarra’s famed terra rossa soils. Crafted by the family-owned Balnaves winery, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the “Dead Morris” vineyard was hand-picked and aged 18 months in 50% new French oak, showcasing the region’s signature intensity and finesse. The 2018 vintage, shaped by a warm, early season with dry conditions, allowed extended maceration for well-matured tannins, delivering a wine that’s both powerful and poised.
Deep rich red in color, the nose is dense and plush with aromas of cassis, wild blackberry, and black olive, accented by lavender, graphite, and fine mocha-coffee oak. The medium-to-full-bodied palate offers concentrated blackcurrant, mint, and eucalyptus, with silky tannins and a long, supple finish. Approachable now with decanting, it promises 10-15+ years of aging potential. Pair with slow-roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, or aged cheddar. Limited production enhances its cult appeal among Cabernet enthusiasts.
