This iconic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon shows powerful and rich classic flavours thanks to its terra rosa soils and cooler temperatures.
This wine gets its name from the first European Settlers of Coonawarra, the Austin Brother.
Coonawarra Austin Brothers Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
PRODUCT INFO
The Austin Brothers, Solomon, Josiah & Thomas, were amongst the first European settlers to the Coonawarra in 1840 and established a run of 109 square miles based on what is now Yallum Park, owned by the famous John Riddoch.
Since European settlement South Australia has been the favoured climate for densely packed, bright, super premium red wines. Three regions stand out, the Barossa, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra and one wind dominates, the Brickfielder. Seasonal warm winds from the dry inland interior channel in from the north during vintage towards the coast, aiding in sugar development and veraison and reducing disease pressure. The result, small yields of intense, high quality balanced fruit recognised globally for its flavour profile. We have the Brickfielder to thank for that.
