LTD Coonawarra Cabernet 2012
About the wine
Coonawarra makes the most prestigious Cabernet in Australia
- Coonawarra is the king of Cabernet Sauvignon in Australia and LTD is on top of the heap grown from a 40 year old vineyard surrounding Luke's family home in the famous terra rossa soils of the region.
- This is a classic Coonawarra Cabernet with concentrated black currant and mulberry flavors with hints dark chocolate, spice and even a minty finish.
- 2 years aging in both new and second year French & American oak create a wine that will wow even the biggest skeptic of Australian fine Cabernet. Drink it now or enjoy it for another 7 years.
Best before
Drinking well now, but if you like to cellar and age your wines then you will be rewarded for cellaring for up to 10 years.
Serving advice
I would recommend letting it breathe for an hour before drinking, or decant.
Food match
Any good quality Australian lamb or beef dish.
Contains sulphites
