Reserve

2008 South Eastern Australia 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Shiraz

The Coorong Sounds Reserve, a captivating blend of eighty-five percent Cabernet Sauvignon and fifteen percent Shiraz, showcases the unique character of South Eastern Australia. This full-bodied red wine delights the senses with its pronounced fruit intensity, displaying luscious notes of ripe blackcurrant and dark plum intertwined with hints of white pepper and spice from the Shiraz. Its bright acidity brings a refreshing liveliness, while the medium tannins provide a solid structure, making it approachable yet complex. The wine's dry nature enhances its food-friendly qualities, allowing it to pair beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb or rich stews. With its remarkable balance and depth, the 2008 vintage of Coorong Sounds Reserve stands out as a testament to the exceptional winemaking of this region.

South Eastern Australia

Covering the entire southeastern third of the country, the South Eastern Australia designation is a vast area (over 1,200 miles long and encompassing the regions of South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania). Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
