Description
Majella GPL68 Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 x 6"The flagship red coming off vines planted in 1968. It is majestic. A perfect interplay of fruit and savouriness and integrated oak imparts a self assuredness. It's full bodied but not a blockbuster. The tannins are ripe and exquisite, and the finish long." Jane Faulkner Halliday Wine Companion In 1968, George Patrick Lynn, patriarch of the Lynn Family, allowed his sons, Brian and Anthony, to plant vines on the family's Coonawarra property "Majella".

In 1968, George Patrick Lynn, patriarch of the Lynn Family, allowed his sons, Brian and Anthony, to plant vines on the family's Coonawarra property "Majella". The vineyard prospered, more vines were planted, a winery was built, and Majella Wines as we now know it was established. George passed away in 1976 aged only 50, but in his memory, we are proud to present the wine, the Majella "GPL68", as a fine example of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. Rated Gold, 96 points Halliday.
TASING NOTES
- Colour: Rich dark magenta with a dark purple hue.
- Bouquet: Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, dark berries, and a hint of savoury spice, balanced with integrated oak.
- Palate: A well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with a perfect interplay of fruit, savouriness, and seamless oak. The tannins are ripe and exquisite, and the finish is long.
- When to drink: While already beautifully structured, this wine will continue to develop with age.
- Food match: Pairs excellently with grilled meats, roasted lamb, or a hearty beef stew.
WINEMAKING
The Cabernet Sauvignon fruit destined to become the GPL68 starts fermentation in a red stainless steel fermenter and finishes fermentation in new French oak hogsheads. The wine is then aged for another 18 months in the same barrels before being individually assessed by our winemaking team. Only a select number of barrels are chosen to become GPL68 Cabernet Sauvignon.
