The Cabernet vineyards from V&A Lane have long been looked to for their depth and character as important contributors to Wynns top wines. The inspiration for the V&A Lane Cabernet Shiraz comes from the Wynns ‘claret story’ that goes back to the 1950s, where wines were made to a style rather than being about exact proportions. For this modern version, the grapes are harvested on the same day and then co-fermented.
The purpose of V&A Lane wines is to showcase a contrasting wine style from our two most beloved grape varieties. A purposely early harvest to highlight a fresh red fruit spectrum, naturally lower alcohol, wild ferments, and the use of larger oak for maturation are just some of the techniques employed to make these beautiful food friendly wines.

A ripe perfume of fresh blackcurrant, violets and black mulberries balanced by a gentle underlay of cedar and creamy oak.
Dark, dense Cabernet flavours and hints of spicy Shiraz frame a complex, savoury palate. There is excellent concentration, structure and potential to this classic Australian blend, delivering a seamless vibrant core of pristine dark berry nuances underpinned by silky smooth fruited tannins.

"Purple-crimson; a fragrant bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum leads into a medium-bodied palate with excellent texture and structure, especially meritorious given the modest alcohol; a very elegant style with a long future. 96 Points."
