What does Coonawarra Cabernet taste like?

Think blackcurrant and plum first, then cedar and a herbal lift of mint, eucalyptus or bay leaf. It's medium to full bodied rather than heavy. The tannins are firm but fine, which gives it a dry, savoury finish and is the reason it ages so well. Young wines are bright and fruity. With ten years in the bottle they turn more earthy and leathery.

Why is Coonawarra so good for Cabernet?

It comes down to soil and weather. The best vineyards sit on a narrow strip of red terra rossa over limestone, about 15 km long. The soil drains well and keeps the vines in check, so the fruit is concentrated. The climate is mild, so Cabernet ripens slowly and keeps its freshness instead of turning jammy. Read more about the region on our Coonawarra wine page.

How long can you cellar Coonawarra Cabernet?

Everyday Coonawarra Cabernet under $25 is made to drink within five years. Premium and single-vineyard wines will improve for 10 to 15 years, and the best can go 20 years or more. Store bottles on their side somewhere cool and dark. If you're not sure, open one bottle from a six-pack now and try another every couple of years.

What to eat with Coonawarra Cabernet

Red meat is the classic match. Try a rib eye, roast lamb, beef and red wine pie or a slow-cooked brisket. The firm tannins work best with fat and char. For something lighter, hard cheeses like aged cheddar work well. Our Cabernet Sauvignon food pairing guide has more ideas.
