Yalumba Sanctum Coonawara Cabernet Sauvignon 750mL

Description

A cool winter with average rainfall across the Coonawarra region encouraged the growth of healthy Cabernet Sauvignon canopies. This set the vines up well for a summer that was full of sunshine and dry weather.

The Menzies Vineyard, Yalumba’s premium Cabernet Sauvignon Estate, was established in the world famous region of Coonawarra in 1975. Just 2 kilometres wide and 20 kilometres long, the Coonawarra terroir is defined by a long, narrow strip of terra rossa soil over limestone - perfect for growing full-bodied, structured Cabernet. Grapes were selected from vines planted between 1975 and 2010.

Deep crimson in colour. Full and intense aromas of blueberries, violets, Satsuma plum and nuances of French oak. Rich and vibrant, the wine bursts with fresh intense red and blue fruits, the palate is structured with the mid-palate balanced by fine, long tannins.
