The 2021 Balgownie Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic and refined Bendigo Cabernet that showcases the depth, structure and elegance for which the region is renowned. Sourced from estate vineyards planted almost 50 years ago at Maiden Gully, it opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and dark plum, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, choc mint and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine tannins, balanced acidity and a smooth, polished texture. Rich dark berry fruit, savoury complexity and well-integrated oak flow into a long, elegant and structured finish with impressive ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding classic Australian Cabernet for customers who enjoy structured yet elegant reds with depth and savoury complexity rather than overly ripe styles. It delivers excellent balance, refinement and cellaring potential while remaining approachable in its youth. Drink now with decanting or cellar comfortably over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with roast lamb, grilled steak, beef Wellington or mature hard cheeses.
