Description

Here’s a Coonawarra Cabernet that delivers premium quality without the premium price tag. The Stonehaven Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon shows why Coonawarra is legendary for producing some of Australia’s best Cabernets. This one is all about richness, structure, and value—seriously, at $25, you’re getting a top-tier wine for a fraction of what you’d expect.

It's true to regional style, showing blackberry and dark plum, perfectly balanced by hints of French oak spice, giving it that signature Coonawarra elegance. The full-bodied palate is rich and smooth, with just the right amount of tannin to carry it through to a long, satisfying finish.

Whether you’re a fan of classic Aussie Cab or looking to explore the region, this is the kind of wine that impresses at a dinner party but is easy enough to enjoy on a quiet night in. For the price, it’s an absolute no-brainer—serious Coonawarra pedigree at a price that feels too good to be true.

"Boysenberry, ripe red cherry and blackberry pie. Pencil shavings, black granite and tar. Sage and bay leaf followed by clove, winter pine and dark chocolate. A taut and compact palate with blue fruit coming through and tobacco and cigar pouch. Nicely integrated and drinking well now."

This Cabernet Sauvignon is full bodied with a rich texture. Notes of blackberry and classic dark fruits are superbly integrated with the spicy French oak characters for that lasting impression.

Stonehaven Wines

Stonehaven Winery has had an interesting journey. Originally built by Hardys in 1998 for a cool $33 million, it was all about showcasing the potential of South Australia's Limestone Coast. This is a region with some pretty diverse sub-regions, including Coonawarra, Padthaway, and Wrattonbully. While Coonawarra’s fame is well-established, the other subregions were still coming into their own when Stonehaven was launched.

However, after some big corporate shake-ups, the brand was sold, and Stonehaven was left dormant for years. That was until early 2021 when CW Wines, a South Australian family business, snapped it up and breathed new life into it. They didn’t just relaunch the brand—they overhauled it with a fresh look and started producing wines that are seriously good value. Under the guidance of winemaker Ben Wurst, they’ve created everything from easy-drinking varietals to more serious, limited-release bottles, with a focus on quality and showcasing the region's cool-climate styles.

Stonehaven’s focus remains on the Limestone Coast’s unique terroirs, with Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay being the stars, along with some emerging varieties like Merlot and Riesling. It’s a real comeback story for a winery that’s proving it still has plenty to offer.
