Overview

Overview

V&A Lane is a long, straight road that dissects Coonawarra's famous terra rossa strip at its midpoint. Estimated to be surveyed in the 1850s, the lane divides the original electorates of Victoria and Albert. Traditionally, it has been used as a landmark to separate northern and southern vineyards in Coonawarra, and is a prestigious and sought after locality for growing both exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

The distinctive fruit from these vineyards has a signature density and richness; the defining characteristic of this location along the Coonawarra strip.

Flavours and Palate

Co-fermenting the Cabernet and Shiraz has created a core of harmony for this wine. The wine offers bright red fruit to opulent dark fruit layered between black olive savoury nuances. The fruit structure is elegantly framed by refined satin like tannins, adding silky texture and complexity, allowing for slightly gravelly minerality on the finish, increasing the length and depth of flavour.
