"Mind boggling for the price"- Shanteh Wale
Balnaves of Coonawarra is a proudly family-owned winery nestled in the heart of South Australia’s famed Coonawarra region. Established in 1975, the Balnaves family has built a reputation for producing some of the region's finest wines, with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux-inspired varieties.
Balnaves 'The Blend' consistently delivers superb value red wine drinking; with the 2022 vintage made up of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) and Merlot (28%), with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Delivering loads of flavour, depth and impeccable balance, this again offers the superb value we've come to expect from this wine.
"93 Points. 65/28/4/3% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc/petit verdot. Matured for 14 months in 22% new French oak. Picked blackberries meet squashed mulberries and a smattering of blueberries. Oak shows an undercurrent of cedar and rich tobacco pouch. It's stitched with a deft hand that delivers a smooth and velvety drink without giving up the fine tannins that allow room for cellar ageing. Mind boggling for the price. 14% alc. Drink: 2024 - 2034.
