Balgownie Estate Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Marrying elegance with structure, this finely balanced cabernet has a dusty, faintly floral but still quite closed fragrance of small red and black berries, polished cedary oak, dried herbs and baked earth. Underpinned by a tightly integrated spine of powdery, drying tannins, its plush and deeply flavoured palate of small berries, dark plums and chocolatey oak culminates in an earthy, faintly meaty and savoury finish, leaving lingering notes of mint and menthol.

Winery

Balgownie Estate
Balgownie has come a long way from its early times as a small individual domaine near Bendigo, although its finest wines still come from the original plantings established by former Bendigo chemist, musician and Bugatti fiend, Stuart Anderson. This vineyard is a national treasure -  it has the ability to produce reds from cabernet sauvignon and shiraz that cellar with the elegance and longevity to rival anything in Australia, yet it can also produce savoury and mineral chardonnay the equal of some fine cool-climate sites. The scarce releases of Old Vine Shiraz are nothing short of spectacular. The Yarra Valley wines, the best of which now have a white label, are still some distance from these classics.
