Overview

Overview

Note: 6 bottle limit per customer.

Wynns Black Label Cabernet is a true icon of Australian wine. First produced in 1954, it has a reputation for ageing gracefully and displaying excellent varietal and regional characteristics. The wine is produced from only the top quality 20 to 25 per cent of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit grown in our terra rossa vineyards.

A wine of style and stature - and a perennial favourite in auction circles - ‘Black Label’ is one of Australia’s most collectable wines and Australia’s benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon. It consistently delivers potential for medium to long-term cellaring.

Kindly Note: This wine is under cork closure.

Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal 

"Deep crimson. Fresh pure blackcurrant pastille aromas with hints of cedar. Superbly concentrated wine with fresh cassis, blackberry fruits, fine persistent grainy/ al dente tannins, lovely density and underlying cedar notes. Builds up grippy firm, with attractive sweet fruit notes and very good mineral length. A classic style with superb volume, vim and vigour. Should develop very well. 16 months in new (21%), 1-year old (38%), 2-year old (31%) and 3-year old (10%) French oak barrels. Drink now – 2034 13.9% 96 points" Andrew Caillard MW

Viticulture

Viticulture

Coonawarra received good winter rainfall during the May to September period and terra rossa soil profiles were full for budburst, with some limestone aquifer recharge taking place. Early growing season rainfall from budburst to flowering was moderate, in line with long term average. Despite adequate and timely rainfall in the Coonawarra growing season, good solid moisture was no match for the cold southerly winds at the delicate flowering and set phase. Consequently, low yields resulted. Hot weather in December was the exception in an otherwise mild year.
