Wynns Black Label ‘Old Vines’ Shiraz 2021
Wynns Black Label Shiraz is a superb example of Coonawarra’s cool climate style. Wynns is privileged to grow Shiraz on many prime locations within Coonawarra. We select the Black Label Shiraz from the oldest of them including the Undoolya vineyard - a rare fragment of the original 1890s fruit colony planting, which was planted in between 1894 and 1987 – and the Johnson’s Block planted in 1925. The average vine age is 75 years.

Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Wynns Black Label Cabernet is a true icon of Australian wine. A perennial favourite in auction circles, it is one of Australia’s most collectable wines and Australia’s benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon. First produced in 1954, Black Label Cabernet has a reputation for ageing gracefully and displaying excellent varietal and regional characteristics. 25 vineyards were selected as worthy of Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon in 2021, harvested from our best Terra Rossa vineyards over three weeks in April.

Wynns V&A Lane Shiraz 2021
V&A Lane is a long, straight road that dissects Coonawarra’s famous Terra Rossa strip at its midpoint. It forms the old district boundary between the historical electorates of Victoria and Albert. The mature Shiraz vineyards (average age 49 years) along V&A Lane ripen early and are among the first picked each season. Sarah Pidgeon has crafted elegant and ripe Shiraz at 12.7% alcohol – showcasing a modern, fresh red-fruit spectrum, food-friendly style.

Wynns V&A Lane Cabernet Shiraz 2021
The Cabernet vineyards from V&A Lane have been important contributors to Wynns’ top wines for many years. The inspiration for the V&A Lane Cabernet Shiraz comes from the Wynns ‘Claret story’ that goes back to the 1950s, where wines were made to a style rather than being about exact proportions. For this modern version, the grapes are harvested on the same day and then co-fermented. A purposely early harvest to highlight a fresh red fruit spectrum, naturally lower alcohol, and wild ferments in this food friendly wine.

Wynns Glengyle Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Each vintage Wynns has the privilege of selecting one single Cabernet vineyard to bottle separately. In 2021 the team chose the Glengyle vineyard just north of V&A Lane. Glengyle is a fragment of John Riddoch’s original block 474. It was planted on its own roots with pre-clonal Cabernet Sauvignon in 1969 and is now renowned as an early ripening vineyard in the heart of the Terra Rossa soil. Glengyle has been selected as a single vineyard release in 2007, 2009 and now in 2021. In the three vintages selected for release, the growing season temperature was average with low rainfall, and the grapes were amongst the earliest harvested Cabernet of the season.
