A great Coonawarra blend exhibiting a complex palate, good tannin structure and a firm finish. The wine is well balanced with a deep rich colour and concentrated berry characters and flavours.
The wine has been matured in a mix of new (100%) French & American oak for 18 months, allowing vanillin and spicy oak flavours to develop with a splash of Merlot further softening the wine.

Specialising in premium Cabernet Sauvignon, Ladbroke Grove is a past winner of Australian Boutique Wine of the Year, and has also been voted in James Halliday's Wine Companion as producing one of the best Cabernets in Australia.
WINESTATE MAGAZINE
"The nose resembles a choc-mint biscuit. Palate is soft and complex with a mouthful of cassis and blackberry flavours, with a very Coonawarra herbal-like finish."
