Abbey Rock Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Dozen

At Abbey Rock Wines, we are passionate about producing elegant wines that reflect the cool climate and rich terroir of Coonawarra, a region renowned for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Known for its well-established vines, viticultural excellence, and world-class wines, Abbey Rock is committed to crafting small batch wines with a focus on quality and refinement. Our flagship wine, the King of Coonawarra, is the Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2021 vintage beautifully expresses the region’s distinctive red soils and cool climate. Sourced from older, low-yielding vineyards, the fruit for this wine is hand-picked in small batches, ensuring that only the best fruit makes it into the final blend. The wine spends extended time on skins to highlight the rich fruit flavors before being aged in French oak barrels. The careful selection of individual barrels is key to crafting the perfect blend, and after barrel ageing, the wine is bottled with minimal fining and filtration to preserve its purity and character. The 2021 Abbey Rock Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep crimson wine with a violet edge, offering lovely dark berry characters complemented by well-integrated French oak. On the palate, the wine is fruit-forward, with prominent flavors of blackberry, red fruits, and a touch of capsicum, leading to a finish of fine-grained tannins and refined oak. This is a medium-bodied, richly flavored wine that captures the essence of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, with balance and elegance that will age beautifully. Rated 95 points and a Gold Medal winner at the Australian Wine Showcase Magazine, this wine is an outstanding example of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. The previous vintage was also highly praised, receiving 94 points and 5 stars from Sam Kim of Wine Orbit
