✨ Technical Specifications
While Shiraz often dominates the conversation in the Barossa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon has a long and distinguished history in this historic region. Chateau Tanunda's Grand Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to this heritage, sourced from premium vineyards across the valley floor and gentle slopes. The region's ancient soils and warm Mediterranean climate, tempered by cool evening breezes, allow Cabernet grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining their structural integrity. Traditionally fermented and aged in a combination of French and American oak, this wine beautifully marries the classic leafy, blackcurrant, and minty characteristics of the noble grape with the rich, generous, and opulent fruit profile that has made the Barossa globally famous.
