Yalumba The Menzies Cabernet Sauvignon hails from the prestigious Coonawarra region based in South Australia which is characterized by its red limestone 'terra rossa' soil. After harvesting, the grapes are crushed and fermented before being aged for around a year and a half in a combination of Hungarian and French oak barrels, resulting in added aromatic and textural complexity. The barrel maturation also contributes oak tannin that will help the wine to develop in bottle.
