Trentham Estate Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Trentham Estate Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a highly awarded, classically structured red wine from one of Australia's most famous cool-climate regions.
The Reserve range represents the pinnacle of Trentham Estate’s production, where chief winemaker Anthony Murphy selects specific parcels of fruit from iconic regions that best express a variety's natural character. While the family-owned winery is based along the Murray River in New South Wales, they source these specific grapes from the terra rossa (red clay over limestone) soils of Coonawarra to capture the region’s signature "mint and cassis" profile.
Wine Description
The 2021 vintage presents a vibrant red-purple colour with a deep, rich core. The nose is quintessentially Coonawarra, offering lifted aromas of violet and mint alongside intense cassis fruit, bay leaf, and subtle notes of coffee-cream and malt. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and firm, showing great length and a "weight of flavour". It is characterized by its excellent structure, featuring dark chocolate undertones and ripe, soft tannins that ensure the wine is approachable now while possessing significant cellaring potential.
The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, matured for 12 months in French oak barrels to integrate the tannins and add complexity. This 2021 release has an ABV of 14.5% and is both vegetarian and vegan-friendly.
Food Pairing
The firm tannins and cool-climate aromatics of this Cabernet Sauvignon make it a classic partner for savory red meats.
Meats: Ideally paired with roasted lamb seasoned with rosemary and garlic, grilled rib-eye steak, or braised beef cheeks.
Vegetarian: Complements hearty dishes like mushroom ragù or lentil-based stews with savory herbs.
Cheese: Best matched with aged hard cheeses such as sharp Cheddar or Pecorino.
