Majella The Musician 2010
Price £11.00
Stock Level: 21
| Grape: | Cabernet Sauvignon (56%), Shiraz (44%) |
| Strength: | 14.5& |
| Style: | Full bodied |
| Size: | 750ml |
| Cellar Notes: | The wine is quite low in oak, with just a smidge of vanillin showing faintly on the mid palate, but otherwise the brambly, blackcurrant flavours demand all the attention |
| Appearance: | very dark purple |
| Aromas: | full of brambly berries |
| Palate: | bursting with flavours of blackcurrant, mulberry and herbs, and fine, elegant and juicy in the mouth. Fine silky tannins integrate with the fruit and minimal oak treatment to produce an approachable well rounded wine with an extended length. Quite a complex wine! |
Vineyard: Majella http://www.majellawines.com.au
The Lynn family have been residents of the Penola - Coonawarra district for over four generations, starting out as store-Keepers and then graduating into grazing.
The property on which Majella now stands was originally owned by Frank Lynn, and bought by his nephew, George, in 1960.
George and Pat Lynn kept Merino’s for wool production on their farm about ten miles away, and had always wanted some good Coonawarra country for their up-and-coming prime lamb enterprise. Viticulture, however, was not on their agenda until 1968.
