NOTES
The Angove family company, Angove's Pty. Ltd., is one of Australia's largest privately owned wine companies and stands as one of the few with strong interests in distilling as well as grape growing and winemaking. The origins of Angove's as a company have more to do with satisfying a way of life rather than a determination to establish a wine and brandy producing business. Dr. William Angove, an accomplished general practitioner and surgeon, with his wife and young family, emigrated from Cornwall in 1886 to establish a medical practice in South Australia.
TASTING NOTES
The grapes for this wine were sourced from two distinct sites within the famed Coonawarra region. One vineyard on dark loam over limestone just north of Penola contributes distinctive rich fruit and spice. A second located on the eastern side of the Riddoch Highway has mixed dark loam and terra rossa soils which add aromatic flavours of mint and eucalyptus as well as a core of fruit. Together the vineyards produce a synergistic whole which shows off the elegant vibrancy of Coonawarra and its signature variety - Cabernet Sauvignon.
