Description
First, it's extremely rare to get hold of an Aussie wine of this maturity. Secondly, since the period of drought, hail, frost and fire in 2007, conditions on the Australian wine scene have swung from glut to famine. So there are simply very, very few great-deal parcels of fine wines to be had. All the more reason to celebrate this one then!
This is one from the exceptional Coonawarra area. Halfway between Adelaide and Melbourne and part of the Limestone Coast, this region is one of Australia's most prestigious and well-known. Why? Its terra rossa soils are some of the finest for viticulture on the continent. This celebrated ridge is only 27km long, less than two kilometres wide, and covers 4820 hectares of land, but has the perfect combination of good drainage thanks to its sand and limestone content, with the clay component helping to retain some moisture.
The area was founded by John Riddoch in 1890 - he was the first to discover the wonderful properties of the soil. Thanks to its relatively cool climate, Coonawarra produces beautifully well-balanced, high-quality wines, but is best known for its Cabernets which can have the depth and elegance of some of the finest Médocs.
