The Cigar is a name coined by Coonawarra Vignerons to describe the region’s unique cigar-shaped strip of rich red terra rossa soil. Home to some of Australia’s most famous vineyards, the secret of Coonawarra lies in the intimate bond between the terra rossa soil, limestone layers, pure artisan water and a long, cool ripening season. Fortunate to be part of this iconic place, Yalumba salutes the region’s pioneers and those privileged to inherit its future.
Blood plum red in colour, medium to full depth in hue. The bouquet shows bright cherry, chocolate and musk aromas supported by savoury cedar oak. Vibrant with blueberries and rhubarb, the palate is balanced by chocolate and mint with the tannins having a mouth-filling, praline-like texture. A long and lingering finish.
