The 2022 Dalwhinnie Moonambel Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Dalwhinnie’s high-altitude estate vineyard in Victoria’s Pyrenees, sitting around 595 metres above sea level. It shows concentrated blackcurrant, blackberry and plum with classic Cabernet notes of cedar, dried herbs, mint and subtle tobacco.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with dark cassis fruit, vibrant acidity and firm, finely shaped tannins. Savoury herbs, cedar and mineral notes provide complexity, while the long growing season helps retain freshness alongside the wine’s depth and concentration.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Cabernet Sauvignon drinkers looking for a structured, cellar-worthy Pyrenees red. The 2022 was included among Halliday Wine Companion’s leading Australian Cabernet Sauvignons. Pair with roast lamb, steak, slow-cooked beef or mature cheeses, and allow further bottle age for additional complexity.
