Koomilya Estate Cabernet Touriga 2021

Upon purchasing the vineyard in 2012 Stephen Pannell saw it as an ideal place to create blends that included grape varieties he believed will see McLaren Vale into the future, and further, and complement the traditional varieties of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz. He grafted two contoured and terraced blocks on deep red soil closest to the scrub at the top of the south-facing slope to touriga nacional with the intention of blending with tempranillo, graciano and mataro. Blending with cabernet sauvignon was never planned, but as fate would have it, there is a magic between the two varieties that can’t be ignored. 

Premium Red Wine Dozen

A stunning case of reds for all your wine drinking needs, featuring two wines exclusive to Qantas Wine, the McLaren Vale Grenache from SC Pannell and cool climate syrah from Victorian rising star Ben Haines. Perfect for impressing your dinner party guests is the Museum Release Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra icons Reschke, normally $100RRP, and the 97-point rated Alpha Crucis Syrah by Chalk Hill, $60RRP. Also included is the insanely delicious tempranillo and touriga blend by McLaren Vale favourites Hither & Yon, and a red blend with multiple gold medals from cool climate stars Blue Pyrenees.
