2021 Stonegarden Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2021 Stonegarden Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful old-vine Cabernet from the Eden Valley–Barossa region, sourced from some of Australia's oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, with vines dating back to the late 1850s. Crafted with a focus on purity and site expression, it combines the richness of Barossa fruit with the freshness and structure of the cooler Eden Valley, creating a Cabernet of remarkable depth and longevity.

The nose reveals blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry aromas layered with choc-mint, tobacco, truffle and baking spice. The palate is full-bodied and beautifully structured, with concentrated dark fruit supported by fine, dusty tannins and fresh acidity. Notes of cocoa, cedar and earthy minerality add complexity, leading to a long, savoury finish that is both powerful and refined.

Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon that delivers outstanding concentration and classic South Australian character. Its richness and structure make it a perfect match for roast lamb, ribeye steak, slow-braised beef, venison and mature hard cheeses. Enjoy now with a generous decant or cellar confidently through 2040 as it develops greater complexity, cedar and savoury nuance.
