Description

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon is a true icon of Australian wine. First produced in 1954, it was the first commercially labelled cabernet sauvignon in Australia. It has a reputation for ageing gracefully and displaying excellent varietal and regional characteristics and is one of Australia's most collected and cellared cabernets. The release of the 2015 Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon in 2017 celebrated the 60th vintage of this historic label. The quality of Wynns Black Label rests on the company's vineyard holdings in Coonawarra. 450 hectares are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and the Black Label is drawn primarily from 240 hectares of vines over 35 years of age.

"This really did give the impression of being a young wine, notwithstanding having a decade under its belt. Lovely black-cherry notes and some fresh kid leather. Seamless and finely balanced. but one kept coming back to the impeccable balance. Really good length and a future as exciting as any. Stunning stuff, one of the best of all."  Stan Gyles

Wine region map of South Australia

South Australia

South Australian is responsible for more than half the production of all Australian wine. It is home to more than 900 wineries across 18 wine regions. The regions are Adelaide Hills, Adelaide Plains, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Coonawarra, Currency Creek, Eden Valley, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Riverland, Robe, Southern Fleurieu, Southern Flinders Ranges and Wrattonbully.

Many of the well-known names in the South Australian wine industry established their first vineyards in the late 1830s and early 1840s. The first vines in McLaren Vale were planted at Reynella in 1839 and Penfold's established Magill Estate on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1844.

South Australia has a vast diversity in geography and climate which allows the State to be able to produce a range of grape varieties - from cool climate Riesling in the Clare and Eden Vallies to the big, full bodied Shiraz wines of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Two of Australia's best-known wines, Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace, are produced here. There is much to discover in South Australia for the wine lover.
