Wine Description
The Story
First produced in 1954, and widely known as Black Label, Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has established a reputation for displaying excellent varietal and regional characteristics. The wine is produced from only the top 20-25% of Cabernet fruit available from Wynns Coonawarra Estate. A wine of style and stature, and a perennial favourite in auction circles, the Black Label is one of Australia’s most collectable wines and Australia’s benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon. It consistently delivers the potential for medium to long-term cellaring, with the average vineyard age for Wynns Black Label over 35 years.
Wine Information
The cool 2011 season saw a much smaller quantity of this important benchmark wine being produced, from our traditional old vineyards. True to its ideals, the 56th vintage of this wine catalogues a remarkably cool season for Coonawarra.
