The 2023 Munda Potawurutj Country Cabernet Sauvignon (Padthaway) is a bold and expressive Australian red, crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the Limestone Coast’s red clay and limestone soils. Produced by Munda Wines - an Indigenous-owned winery - it reflects a deep connection to Country and terroir, with a focus on structure, purity and site expression. The 2023 vintage benefited from a long, cool growing season, allowing for slow ripening and excellent flavour development, resulting in wines of depth, balance and aromatic precision. The nose is lifted and complex, showing blueberry, cassis and dark plum, layered with violet florals, mint, cedar and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a structured, refined texture and fine-grained tannins. Flavours of blackcurrant, blood plum and dark cherry are complemented by notes of mocha and gentle oak, balanced by fresh acidity that drives a long, polished and savoury finish. The style is classic yet modern - combining varietal intensity with elegance and precision.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Cabernet for customers looking for a structured, terroir-driven Australian red. It’s ideal for those who enjoy Bordeaux-style Cabernet or premium Coonawarra wines with depth and savoury complexity. This is not soft or fruit-only - it’s layered, structured and built to evolve. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with steak, lamb, slow-cooked dishes or aged cheeses.
