Description
"First planted in 1975, The Menzies is our sole Coonawarra vineyard in the heart of the Coonawarra terra rossa country. The defining terroir difference between the vineyard comes from the soils. Red sandy loam over limestone, classic Cabernet Sauvignon dirt. This wine is made by small batch winemaking practices to protect the integrity of each 8 tonne harvest parcel. The majority of the wine has been matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, both barriques and hogshead with the new oak component held at 49%.
The 2010 vintage was outstanding in the Coonawarra, it is certainly one to collect. The Menzies 2010 displays intense violet floras and cigar box on the nose, with a full bodied palate of rich cassis blackcurrant fruit and dark berries. Vegan & Vegetarian friendly." - Producer Notes
