Established by John Riddoch in 1891, Wynns now retain some marvelous old vineyards. With each harvest, Wynns select a single distinguished site to bottle as a superior vintage release. Glengyle was planted in 1969 and is traditionally one of the first Coonawarra vineyards to ripen. Matured eighteen months in a selection of French oak barriques and hogsheads, beautifully evolved after years of bottle age under the Wynn estate cellars, Glengyle's silky tannins, precision and length, support a concentrated palate of animate black currants flavours, black cherry and cassis.
Intense red with a distinctive black core. Intriguing notes of dark cherry, dried mints and sage to the bouquet, finely integrated, spicy vanilla oak notes. A complex amalgam of ripe plums and black olive, a medium bodied Coonawarra style of great length and persistence, the palate is framed by fine grained French oak and supported by a length of pliant, savoury licorice tannins.
