Gartner Family Vineyards
2021 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Colour: Deep ruby red with a vibrant crimson hue.

Aromatics: Classic Coonawarra lift of cassis, dark plum and violet florals, complemented by cedar, tobacco leaf, and a hint of mint.

Palate: Dense, plush, and beautifully balanced; quintessential Coonawarra. Layers of ripe blackcurrant and mulberry glide across the palate, framed by fine-grained tannins and a savoury undertone of dried herbs and black olive tapenade. The texture is luxurious and persistent, finishing long with freshness and drive.


Verdict: A superbly composed Cabernet capturing both the richness and precision of Coonawarra, built for the cellar yet already irresistible.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

It's gorgeously fruited with seductive complexity, showing blackcurrant, tobacco, fennel, and cedar characters on the nose. The palate is wonderfully weighted and richly textured with a plush mouthfeel, splendidly structured by layers of chalky tannins. Sturdy and robust with a persistent, engaging finish. At its best: now to 2033. Sept 2025.
