Wynns The Siding Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Wynns, The Siding, Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, South Australia, 2021

Grape: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Wynns have long been known for their superb Cabernet Sauvignon planted on the unique strip of "Terra Rossa" soil of the Coonawarra in South Australia. "The Siding" is named after the local railway landmark.

Producer Tasting Note:

On the nose, engaging ripe cherries and brambles are elevated by savoury lavender and spice. Youthful and alluring palate, with a plush, almost bright texture.  Dark berries are enveloped in cedar, earthy and spice. The structure is classic Cabernet, malleable tannins follow the contours of the palate creating a seamless profile, balanced with fresh acid.

"The aim of this wine is to deliver a leading affordable Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing exceptional varietal and regional characteristics of red cherry, mint and dark berry flavours, while an array of gentle tannins will further reward from short to medium term cellaring" - Sue Hodder, Winemaker.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Wynns was the first winery to be established in Coonawarra, by John Riddoch back in 1896. The renowned terra rossa soils of the region and the expert winemaking have come together to produce a fantastic Cabernet for the money, deep and rich and generously fruited in style – all that and yet under 14% in alcohol. Inky in the glass, and filled with juicy dark blueberry, plum and blackcurrant fruit, plus hints of pine and eucalyptus. The wine matured for 14 months in a mix of new and older French oak, giving structure, and present but not harsh tannins. Lovely balance, velvety and with a cocoa richness." Drink 2023-2026
