Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Lifted aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and vanilla are accompanied by vibrant, dark berry fruits on the palate. The finish is long with fine-grained tannins from sixteen months maturation in a combination of new and older French oak hogsheads. Although drinking well now this wine may be cellared for up to ten years from vintage.

Professional Ratings

  • 89
    Ripe and generous, this soft-textured Cabernet weaves rosemary and sage herbal notes through the full, weighty cherry and spice flavors. The tannins are plush.

Chateau Tanunda Chateau Tanunda Winery Video

Château Tanunda, the birthplace of the Barossa, is one of Australia’s most historically significant wineries. Established in 1890, it celebrates over 130 years of fine winemaking! The Château is privately owned by the Geber family, who have put their heart, soul and passion into handcrafting some of the Barossa’s most collectable wines, with a focus on unique Old Vine Expressions of 50, 100 and 150 Year Old vines and its most famous wine Grand Barossa Shiraz.

Wines are handcrafted by combining traditional methods and modern technology. Limited release wines are hand-picked, basket-pressed and bottled unfiltered. The team at Château Tanunda believe in minimal intervention to allow the true character of the grapes to express themselves.

Barrel ageing and master blending is our skill and art form. The vineyards are the soul; the basket-press winery is the heart; the wines are Château Tanunda’s passion with everything finely tuned to produce delicious, distinctive and elegant wines.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Barossa Valley Wine

Barossa, Australia

View all products

Historically and presently the most important wine-producing region of Australia, the Barossa Valley is set in the Barossa zone of South Australia, where more than half of the country’s wine is made. Because the climate is very hot and dry, vineyard managers work diligently to ensure grapes reach the perfect levels of phenolic ripeness.

The intense heat is ideal for plush, bold reds, particularly Shiraz on its own or Rhône Blends. Often Shiraz and Cabernet partner up for plump and powerful reds.

While much less prevalent, light-skinned varieties such as Riesling, Viognier or Semillon produce vibrant Barossa Valley whites.

Most of Australia’s largest wine producers are based here and Shiraz plantings date back as far as the 1850s or before. Many of them are dry farmed and bush trained, still offering less than one ton per acre of inky, intense, purple juice.
