The 2021 Coriole Songbird Cabernet is highly aromatic, with aromas of mulberry, with blackcurrant, bay leaf and cherry ripe. The palate has lovely generosity and crunchy textural tannins. The palate shows flavours of cassis, red berries, bitter chocolate and vanilla. This is a bright, playful and modern Cabernet which will remain fresh in the bottle for some time.
Winemaker’s Notes: “The name “Songbird” suits this regal yet pretty wine. A great example of what McLaren Vale can do with the often under rated Cabernet Sauvignon. Open fermented in 3-4T batches, gentle hand plunging gives subtle extraction of the classic Cabernet tannins and structure. An approachable wine that will still reward the connoisseur.”
Songbird Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from Estate Grown fruit and combines freshness and aromatic lift with classic Cabernet structure. Songbird refers to the huge range of birds that we have in the Coriole gardens, vineyards and native scrublands.
Food pairing: Persian cuisine will make this Songbird sing. Accompany your favourite BBQ meat with a roast beetroot salad with date, walnut, goat chèvre and pomegranate molasses.
Alcohol: 14.5% ABV

string(589) "One of the most ubiquitous grape varieties in the world; Cabernet Sauvignon. Together with Pinot Noir it vies for the crown of greatest red variety in the world. So multifaceted and so adaptable, it is as happy in the Pauillac vineyards of Château Latour as it is in the high altitude vineyards of the Andes. So suited to oak and with a firm tannic backbone, it is very often utilised as part of a blend. Though Bordeaux is its natural home, it has spread through the wine world, finding notable homes in Stellenbosch, Coonawarra, Langhorne Creek and the Barossa Valley to name but a few."
