WINERY NOTES - "Medium crimson with a crimson hue. Displaying true
Coonawarra aromatics of ozone, violet and a lovely
fresh burst of blueberries and choc mint. The palate is
restrained yet complex. Whilst the wine is youthful and
structural, there is blueberry, violet and chocolate with
lovely fruit flavour and very fine tannins, giving the
drinker an insight to the ageability of this wine. With
decanting in its youth it is enjoyable as an elegant fullbodied red wine.
FOOD PAIRING: Wonderful with a chargrilled rib eye on the bone or porcini mushroom, thyme and quinoa risotto.
The Menzies is in the heart of Coonawarra terra rossa country. The vineyard site is reasonably level, with the defining terroir difference coming from the soils. Our soil is red sandy loam over limestone, which is classic Cabernet Sauvignon dirt. Most of the vines for Yalumba The Menzies were planted in 1985 and are trellised tall with wide rows. Bunches are usually small with small berries giving a concentration that favours the creation of full bodied reds."
