Yalumba The Sanctum 2022 Coonawarra Cabernet is out… and expected to do well again in the upcoming show circuit. We rate it 94/100… we gave The Sanctum Cabernet 2021 95/100. It took Australasian and global markets by storm in 2024. It sold out everywhere in just weeks on the back of its “Menzies Vineyard” heritage and phenomenal show success! It accumulated 9 Champion Trophies + 10 Gold Medals. Fine Wine Delivery sales were 700 x 6-packs across 2 shipments… both deliveries sold out within 2-days of arrival. We could have sold up to 2,000 x 6-packs… had more been available. The Sanctum Cabernet is crafted with fruit off the famous Menzies Vineyard (Est 1975) by the same winemaking team that presides over the making of Yalumba The Menzies Cabernet. Menzies Vineyard is the pride of Yalumba… and the Coonawarra region in South Australia, famous for its “World Class” Cabernets. Just 2 kilometres wide and 15 kilometres long, the Coonawarra terroir is defined by a long, narrow strip of Terra Rossa soil over limestone - perfect for growing full-bodied, structured Cabernet. This 2022 again overdelivers… Menzies fruit, Yalumba’s top winemaking team and the finest oak from their in-house cooperage. Extraordinary Cabernet value, above what you could expect from similarly priced French Bordeaux and NZ Bordeuax style reds. Will cellar 10-years… decant for an hour pre-serving… perfect for any BBQ… superbly affordable Cabernet everyone will love

Intense aromas of blueberry, blackberry, violets, maraschino cherry, with charming of vanilla and toast French oak.

Deep crimson in colour with a magenta hue. Silky and vibrant, bursting with intense black fruits, the palate is structured with the mid-palate balanced by fine, long tannins. A wine for the cellar and given 10 years+ the rewards will be outstanding. The harmony of fruit, structure and complexity will excite all that get to try this wine, no end. The recommended serving temperature is 16-18 degrees.
