The 2022 Heirloom Vineyards Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic South Australian Cabernet, sourced from premium terra rossa soils in Coonawarra—one of Australia’s most renowned regions for structured, age-worthy Cabernet wines. Crafted using traditional techniques including open fermentation and 18 months maturation in French and American oak, it delivers both power and refinement. The nose is intense and layered, showing blackcurrant, blackberry and mulberry alongside notes of cedar, tobacco, mint and dried herbs, with subtle oak spice adding complexity.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with concentrated dark fruit, firm chalky tannins and a savoury edge, balanced by fresh acidity and leading to a long, persistent finish. The style is bold yet classic, combining richness with elegance and excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Coonawarra Cabernet for customers seeking a serious, structured red with real depth. It’s ideal for those who enjoy classic Cabernet styles with ageing potential. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with steak, roast lamb, slow-cooked beef or hard cheeses.
