The Balnaves Coonawarra Vineyard was established in 1975 and is situated at the southern end of the Coonawarra Terra Rossa strip. The family, which has been associated with the district since 1855, remains fully committed to a high level of ‘hands-on’ involvement.
Balnaves 'The Blend' consistently delivering superb value red wine drinking; the 2020 vintage is made up of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a small amount of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Delivering loads of flavour, depth and impeccable balance, this offers super value at this price.
"93 Points. A blend of 67/26/4/3% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/petit verdot/cabernet franc; matured in 18% new French oak for 12 months. This offers a medium-weight serve of black- and red-berried fruit flavour, though there are also plenty of leafier, more savoury aspects around the edges along with eucalypt and smoky oak notes. It's drinking well young, but it has all the sturdiness required to last well into the future. Balnaves always seems to over deliver on quality, and this is another example."- Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion.
