Family Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, Trentham Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon vines are perfectly suited to the Coonawarra region, where a magical combination of the terra rossa soil and cool maritime climate produce very high quality grapes.
The wine shows deep and rich red-purple colour with lifted violet and mint aromas. The palate has great length with balanced cassis fruit and dark chocolate. A little riper than
previous years, with immense varietal definition and superb ripe soft tannins.

A medium-bodied wine with Coonawarra earth, cassis/blackcurrant/mint fruit, and persistent, savoury tannins. A strong expression of place.
