The d'Arenberg Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon is a quintessential South Australian wine, exemplifying the richness the McLaren Vale region has to offer. Its deep, ruby red hue hints at its intensity. The nose presents a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle vanilla notes, with undercurrents of mint and tobacco. The palate is imbued with bold, dark fruit flavours, perfectly balanced by firm tannins and a sustained, peppery finish. This full-bodied red is a true epicurean delight, wonderfully paired with robust dishes. An opulent, sophisticated offering from d'Arenberg's acclaimed cellars, it's the ultimate indulgence for any wine aficionado.

Tasting Notes

A decidedly Mediterranean Cabernet, albeit from South Australia, full of blackcurrants and olives, with a touch of mushroom and a waft of sage and oregano.

About the Winery

This unique method endows d'Arenberg wines with extraordinary depth and complexity. New visitors are often intrigued by the wineries flagship wine, the Dead Arm Shiraz. A bottle of this critically acclaimed marvel is a must try for any serious wine enthusiast!
