Cabernet Shiraz 2022
Overview
Overview
Mildara first released wine in the late 1800s, and was amongst the earliest pioneers of the internationally renowned Coonawarra region of South Australia’s LimestoneCoast in the 1950s.
Mildara has crafted many superb Cabernets since the release of its original 1963 vintage. Dubbed 'Peppermint Pattie' when released due to its obvious chocolate and mint characters, the wine gained a reputation as being one of the finest crafted in the country. In every vintage the Mildara winemaker endeavours to recapture the qualities and produce a wine reminiscent of this iconic Cabernet.
This medium bodied Cabernet Shiraz shows regional varietal aromas of bright ripe cherry, plum, jammy mulberry, and dark chocolate with a delicate mint lift.

Taste Description
Taste Description
Nose
This wine shows regional varietal aromas of bright ripe cherry, mulberry, and dark chocolate with a delicate mint lift. These aromas are enhanced by fragrant cedary cigar box oak notes, derived from maturation with oak.
Flavours and Palate
The palate is velvety, long and focused, with lingering flavours of blackcurrants, mulberry and red cherry, and an array of complex characters such as coffee grounds and choc-mint. Maturation with oak has resulted in a medium bodied, finely textured wine with regionally distinct, dusty Cabernet tannins. This is an elegant wine of grace and varietal distinction
