Tasting Notes

Coonawarra is world famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Rymill put a small amount of their best vintages away for their Aged Release Series. Aged Cabernet at its best.

Deep red purple. Cassis, black plum, tapenade, leather, Chesterfield and mocha oak. Developed and full-bodied with a rich core of black fruit, still-firm tannins, redcurrant acidity and chocolatey oak. A lovely aged red, drinking close to its peak.

About the Wine

This Maturation Release Cabernet Sauvignon is the result of a small quantity of the 2013 vintage cellared at our winery for further maturation in bottle, and only released after careful assessment.

Cabernet Sauvignon is Coonawarra’s pre-eminent grape variety. Parcels of premium fruit are selected, fermented and then aged in French oak barrels to produce this full bodied and richly flavoured wine.

The Area

We believe Australia’s best Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Coonawarra, which is why over fifty percent of our vineyards are planted to this variety.

The Coonawarra and Cabernet combination is a gift from nature: an exceptional mix of natural elements – a cool climate and the perfect soil. Coonawarra’s Terra Rossa soil is unique, being a mixture of red clay and fertile loam overlaying deep limestone.

Great wines come from great grapes, and this is exemplified in our vineyards. Forty years old and growing strong. 140 hectares of sustainably grown vineyards are entirely on this precious terra rossa.

Cabernet isn’t our only strength as our vineyards also produce exceptional Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer.

About the Winery

Building on the Rymill family’s history of pioneering within the Coonawarra region, our modern winemaking team has taken up the challenge to handcraft the very best expression of what the unique terra rossa soil and cool climate of Coonawarra can deliver.

The Rymill Coonawarra philosophy is to make wines of finesse, power and balance. We are proudly certified sustainable, and work daily in the winery and vineyard to minimise our impact on the environment.
