They are one of the true legends of the story of wine in Aussie and although they’ve been a bit quieter in recent times it’s fair to say the legends of Orlando are back!

With a history dating back to 1874 and winner of over 1,000 top end awards since the 1980s these legendary wine labels have been given a new lease of life and we’re stoked to see them back on our shelves! We’re talking about legends like Centenary Hill Shiraz, Lawsons Padthaway Shiraz, Jacaranda Coonawarra Cabernet and the Steingarten Eden Valley Riesling.

This is the 2016 vintage of Orlando Jacaranda Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon from the Coonawarra. Using fruit from vines planted in 1990 and aged 14 months in French oak, this looks and tastes every bit the legend we remember it being…

96/100 (Tyson Stelzer, James Halliday’s Wine Companion)
“Quintessential Coonawarra cabernet of power and promise. Deep wells of blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis take on strong licorice reflections in 2016, generously bolstered by rich coffee bean and high-cocoa dark chocolate oak. Masterfully assembled, a veritable army of fine tannins carry the finish very straight and long.”

93/100 (Bob Campbell MW)
“Concentrated, almost syrupy cabernet sauvignon cassis. black berry, Christmas cake, liquorice and pronounced toasty oak flavours.”

A legend made with the cellar in mind. Try tucking this one away up until 2035.
