🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby to dark crimson in the glass with vibrant purple highlights, showing excellent colour depth typical of premium Coonawarra Cabernet.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Classic Cabernet aromatics of cassis, blackberry and plum rise from the glass. Subtle notes of cedar, dusty leaf and chocolate oak provide complexity alongside hints of herbal and earthy nuance.
👅 Palate
Rich and mouth-filling with flavours of ripe plum, blackberry and dark berry fruit. Layers of dark fruit intensity are supported by savoury undertones and gentle oak influence, delivering depth and varietal character.
⚖️ Structure
Medium-to-full bodied with classic Coonawarra fine tannins that provide structure and balance. The wine shows a layered tannin profile and balanced acidity that supports the fruit richness.
🔚 Finish
Long and structured with lingering cassis, dark plum and subtle cedar notes, finishing firm yet elegant with persistent flavour length.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon—rich, structured and varietally expressive. Wines from Bowen Estate are known for generous fruit flavours, strong varietal aromas and balanced tannins that reflect the region’s famed terra rossa soils.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled steak, roast lamb, beef casseroles, venison or aged cheeses such as cheddar or gouda.
