LANGTONS Stonehaven and Moss Wood Cabernet 12 Pack Cabernet, Coonawarra, Margaret River

First up are the 10 bottles of Stonehaven Wines Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra 2021 (RRP $60). This ‘seriously good cabernet’ according to James Halliday in a 97-point review. The 40-year-old vines are tended by hand, and the pristine fruit is cold macerated prior to vinification. After the wine is born, it spends 18 months in French oak hogsheads. The wine is deep in colour and flavour, layered and complex on the nose and palate and delicious in the glass. It is exactly what we expect from premium Coonawarra cabernet.

We’ve taken two of the Coonawarras and upgraded it to Moss Wood Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River 2021 (RRP $158). LANGTONS Classified, the 2021 Moss Wood is sporting a 98-point review from Ray Jordan, who cites the long-term cellar future of the wine, which he describes as ‘one of Australia’s great cabernets.’ This legendary cabernet sauvignon is intensely perfumed and finely structured with cassis-blackcurrant aromas, hints of cedar and touches of violet. The oak and fruit are neatly balanced.
