Stonegarden Cabernet Sauvignon

Eden Valley, Australia

The Stonegarden vineyard in the Barossa’s Eden Valley is the stuff of South Australian legend. Originally planted in the late 1850s it is a treasure trove of incredible old vines with an eclectic mix of varietals, the undisputed hero of which is their 160+ year old Grenache. While it may not be as well known as some of the other superstar vineyards of the region, this is purely because its fruit has traditionally been allocated to the Barossa’s top wineries and never produced under its own label… until now. Purchased in 2015 by ex oil and gas engineer Glen Monaghan, who very smartly decided to partner up with chief Rockford winemaker Ben Radford (who himself had had plenty of experience with the vineyard’s fruit), they set about giving Stonegarden it its own identity. The two of them have been hard it ever since, crafting a series of wines under the Stonegarden label that capture the essence of this historic vineyard site.

As a ‘new’ brand, the prices of these wines are extremely modest considering their quality – we recommend you snap them up and cellar, as we have no doubt they are going to be in very high demand once word gets out!

With some of the oldest Cabernet vines in the world, the Stonegarden Cabernet is a wine of great depth and complexity. Redolent of dark berry fruit, it opens up to offer intriguing notes of rich baking spices, mocha, tobacco and truffle. On the palate it is plush and dense with well-balanced savoury tannins supporting the wave of intense primary flavours, leading to a long, smooth finish. It’s rich by Eden Valley standards and should cellar well for a few years to come.
