The 2024 Balnaves The Blend is a Cabernet-led red from Coonawarra, combining the region’s classic dark-fruit character with a softer, approachable structure. The nose shows blackcurrant, blackberry, red plum and cherry with touches of cedar, mint, dried herbs and gentle spice. The cool, dry 2024 vintage allowed gradual ripening and balanced tannin development.

On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied with ripe black and red fruit, fresh acidity and smooth, supple tannins. Seasoned French oak and stainless-steel maturation provide subtle savoury complexity while keeping the fruit clear and vibrant. The finish is balanced, persistent and distinctly Coonawarra in style.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy approachable Cabernet-based reds with generous fruit and savoury complexity. Enjoy now or cellar over the next 5–8 years. Pair with roast lamb, grilled steak, beef burgers, roast duck or mature cheddar.

About the region

South Australia · Coonawarra

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
