Tasting Panel
Certified organic grapes are planted on red loam over limestone soils in the family-owned Nanya Vineyard, which is farmed without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This estate-bottled Cabernet Sauvignon displays aromas of cappuccino and purple plum. Rich, ripe notes of blackberry preserves, licorice, and cedar-kissed cherry work with a balanced acid structure and a pleasingly dry, dusty finish.

Naturalis is produced by the Angove family, who have been making wine for 135 years over five generations. As the largest producers of organic wines in Australia, they are committed to sustainability in both the vineyards and in winemaking practices to ensure their legacy as environmental stewards lives on for future generations.
Grapes sourced for this wine are grown in our Certified Organic Nanya Vineyard near Paringa, South Australia and a small certified organic vineyard on the outskirts of McLaren Vale township. The sandy loam over limestone soils, abundant sunshine, warm days and cool nights of Paringa provide ideal conditions for nurturing flavor packed organic grapes whilst the McLaren Vale vineyard adds depth and richness. We view the vineyard as more than just the source of our grapes. It is a holistic system of interconnected organic prosperity. The vine is important, but it is the health of the entire environment that provides the best tasting grapes.
At no stage during the grape growing and winemaking of Naturalis wines have we used any synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers or inputs of any kind. Everything we use comes from nature, pure and clean, and all wines are vegan friendly, gluten-free and non-GMO.
A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
