About Rymill Coonawarra Classic Cabernet Sauvignon
Rymill Coonawarra Classic Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a deep, inviting ruby-red colour and a nose that speaks clearly of Coonawarra's celebrated terra rossa terroir. Aromas of ripe blackcurrant and dark plum are lifted by a hint of dried herbs and a subtle eucalyptus note — a hallmark of the region. On the palate, the wine is structured and confident, with concentrated dark fruit flavours supported by well-integrated French and American oak, lending notes of cedar and a touch of vanilla. The tannins are firm yet polished, characteristic of a classically styled Coonawarra Cabernet, with good natural acidity providing freshness and balance. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering cassis and a faint graphite minerality that reflects the unique limestone-rich soils beneath the famous red earth.
