2013 ‘Grande Reserve’ Cabernet Sauvignon
Regular price $150.00The best fruit from only the best vintages makes the grade for this iconic wine. Single vineyard parcels from the 60 year old Home Block Vineyard are selected and then aged in 100% new French oak for up to 3 years. Then cellared for a minimum of 6 years before release. Bold, complex notes of dark chocolate and concentrated fruit lead to a wonderfully rich, structured palate with impeccable length. A wine that showcases the true essence of aged Coonawarra Cabernet and will reward any wine lover or true connoisseur.
