Powerful, deep reds with firm tannins and dense texture, showing aromas of blackberry, leather, garrigue, black pepper, liquorice and animal notes (game, forest floor) with age. Star of Bandol AOC as a single variety and pillar of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Costières blends. Also in GSM in Languedoc and Australia. A late-ripening variety of Spanish origin (Mataró/Monastrell).
Cool-climate GI of south-eastern Australia, red terra rossa over white limestone. Coonawarra's signature Cabernet Sauvignon: classic reds with signature notes of pure blackcurrant, eucalyptus, fresh mint, cedar and graphite, firm tannins and long ageing potential — a world benchmark. Also spicy peppery Shiraz, round Merlot. Precise Chardonnay whites (citrus, hazelnut), taut Riesling (lemon, kerosene).
