2024 Gullyview Estate Countryside Cabernet Sauvignon

WINEMAKER: Jono Koerner
REGION: Clare Valley, SA
VARIETY: Cabernet Sauvignon
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable

Countryside Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that reflects the Clare Valley countryside – think Aussie outback, dusty, gumtree’s, beautiful and laid back.

The wine has an almost blue like colour which is very fitting considering the flavour profile. Such a pretty, lifted nose, blueberries, blackberry, plumbs, a hint of the Clare valley herbaceousness and a touch of cassis. A happy medium bodied wine, with amazing layers of spice, dark fruit, subtle tannin, violet, floral notes and again acid that gives the wine freshness. Great Cabernet can be drunk young, but it will always age and offer greatness through its journey. Drink this wine now, but please put some in the cellar and let it take you on the journey.

Anthony and Christine Koerner bought ‘Gullyview Vineyards’ on 15 May 1987. Today they are producing some of Australia’s highest quality grapes. In 2023 son Jono Koerner and partner Megan Jenkin established ‘Gullyview Estate’ which pays homage to Christine and Anthony’s hard work through carefully crafted wines that reflect the place in which they call home. The Estate is 70 hectare in total and is located in Leasingham (Watervale) Clare Valley. Jono and Megan only use a small portion of the fruit and the grapes used for the wines they make are chosen from a handful of select sites to best showcase the terroir and variety characteristics. The vineyard is mostly Terra Rossa soils, red clay over limestone, so all the wines have a beautiful underlinging minrality.
