The Lynn family planted their Majella vineyard on the eastern edge of the famed Coonawarra 'red strip' in 1968. Now considered benchmark Coonawarra, Majella has established an unrivalled reputation as producers of world class wines. The 2002 vintage turned out wines with impeccable balance and depth of flavour. "… both show fruit intensity and tight structure of this cool vintage. There's a leafy edge to the Cabernet, but it's a complexing element, not a sign of greeness, in a wine that's pure class from go to wo. The Shiraz, too, is a knockout being elegant but plush.

Expert Review

Medium to full red-purple; a luscious mix of blackberry, cassis and plum on the bouquet is followed by a palate with slightly more savoury overtones, which is no bad thing. The judicious use of oak and balanced tannins round off a distinguished wine from a vintage which always had a difficult act to follow.

Rating 93 - Drink by 2014 - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion (JUN/2001)

Tasting Notes

"The gorgeously concentrated, immensely complex and seductive Majella Malleea Cabernet Shiraz highlights the compelling nuances of multi varietal blending, utterly superb vineyard resources and Bruce Gregory’s intuitive winemaking and selection. The original 6 acre Shiraz vineyard was established in 1968. Since 1970 extensive plantings of Cabernet, Shiraz and Merlot have followed. Majella’s Malleea (a local aboriginal word for ‘green field’) was first made in 1996. Rigorous fruit selection, batch vinification in headed down static fermenters, partial barrel fermentation and 22 months in new, tightly grained French oak are essential elements of winemaking philosophy. This strong regionally defined wine shows intense mocha-berry aromas, ripe tannins, savoury oak and meaty complexity; reflective of a remarkable generosity and spirit of place."
