✨ Technical Specifications
While the Barossa Valley is globally celebrated for its Shiraz, its unique terroir also yields exceptional, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Chateau Tanunda's Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon highlights the distinct microclimates and ancient soils of the Barossa. Sourced from a single, low-yielding vineyard block, this wine benefits from the region's warm days and cool night breezes, allowing the grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness while retaining vibrant natural acidity. Prepared using traditional basket presses and open fermenters, the wine is matured in fine French oak. This meticulous approach coaxes out a sophisticated expression of Cabernet, characterized by rich dark fruit, subtle leafy complexity, and a firm, age-worthy tannin structure that reflects the estate's long-standing heritage.
