1993 Wynns Coonawarra Estate 'John Riddoch' Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L Magnum)

The "John Riddoch" is only produced in years when the fruit is of extraordinary quality, representing less than 1% of the estate's top Cabernet grapes. The Coonawarra region is world-famous for its unique Terra Rossa soil—a thin strip of red clay over limestone—which provides the perfect environment for producing Cabernet with structural power and refined elegance. Having matured for over 30 years, this magnum-format bottle is likely in an exceptional state, as larger bottles age more slowly and gracefully than standard sizes. This wine is a testament to the storied history of Australian winemaking.
