Winemaker Notes
Mouthfilling, firm yet round, a balance of power and grace. This wine is aristocracy with an Austrailian twist. It boldly shows off the coveted old-vine Cabernet fruit of our McLaren Vale estates through its richly concentrated flavors, yet manages to convince you that it is also remarkably easy to drink with its soft tannins and long, smooth finish.
A joint venture between Robert Mondavi and Rosemount Estate, the wine was blended by Tim Mondavi, Philip Shaw and Ian Shepherd.
"Despite the hot summer, 2001 was an outstanding year for Cabernet Sauvignon in McLaren Vale. We really think this wine epitomized McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon - ripe berry and a firm, gripping palate with rich mouth-filling flavors."
-winemaker Ian Shepherd
Professional Ratings
- Wine Spectator
A partnership in winemaking between California's Robert Mondavi and Australia's Rosemount Estate, Kirralaa is one of the two labels produced by this joint venture. Adopting a rule that neither company was allowed to work in its own backyard, Kirralaa was made in Australia by the Mondavi team lead by winemaker Tim Mondavi.
An Australian word for star, Kirralaa (wines) "break the status quo" in winemaking and display bold colors, stunning, rich flavors, and unmatched varietal complexity and refinement. Farmed in the finest regions of Australia: Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, and McLaren Vale.
