✨ Technical Specifications
The Matthews Road Cabernet Sauvignon by Chateau Tanunda is a tribute to the historic pathways of the Barossa and the diverse terroirs of South Australia. Sourced from select vineyards where the warm Australian sun is tempered by cool evening breezes, this wine showcases the classic structural elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon. Chateau Tanunda, established in 1890, utilizes its deep-rooted heritage to craft a Cabernet that balances rich, dark fruit flavors of blackberry and cassis with subtle leafy notes, mint, and structured tannins. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes preserving the vibrant fruit character while integrating fine oak, resulting in a sophisticated red that honors the pioneering spirit of the Barossa Valley's early settlers.
