Brands Laira Cabernet Merlot 2013 CONFIRM 2013 VINTAGE

Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Coonawarra South Australia
A descendant of Coonawarra's oldest vines, Brand's Laira yields exceptional quality harvests of Cabernet Sauvignon which owe their provenence to historic plantings. The property played an important role in establishing Coonawarra's international reputation as Australia's most eminent red winegrowing region. Drawing fruit from superlative vineyards, including a single block which hosts the original 1893 vines, Brand's Laira is intensely varietal and displays the distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon style which has made Coonawarra famous.
McWilliam's are one of the largest landholders in Coonawarra, with almost three hundred choice hectares under vine. The Brand family are still very much hands on, managing the property and overseeing the production of wines. Cabernet and Merlot grapes are vinified on skins, pumped and rolled over twice daily to ensure maximum extraction of colour and flavour. Parcels are pressed off skins into a selection of new and seasoned French and American oak for completion of primary ferments and a course of malolactic. Upon completion, batches are racked off lees and pumped back into oak for a year's maturation. All components are vinified separately and assessed before inclusion into the finished wine.
Vibrant, bright crimson red with purple hues. Perfumed, fresh fruit driven nose displaying cassis, dark berries and mulberry fruit accompanied by spicy oak characters. A rich and powerful palate of mulberries and plum with an excellent weight of fruit provided by the Merlot over muscular Cabernet tannins. Mature oak characters feature as the wine finishes long and lingering over fine tannins and fragrant red fruit.

The Laira Vineyard was established in 1893 on the Coonawarra’s famous terra rossa heartland

Brands Laira is today widely regarded as one of the region’s best plantings of Shiraz. With Shiraz being the only wine grape planted in Coonawarra from 1900 to 1950, the variety has played an important role in establishing Coonawarra’s international reputation as Australia’s pre-eminent red wine region.

Eric and Nancy Brand purchased the Laira Vineyard and adjoining property in 1946; and over the next decade extended the vineyard to 23 hectares of vines. The first wine sold under the Laira label was released in 1966. Fruit from this century-old Original Vineyard is still used today in the production of the Brand’s of Coonawarra Stentiford’s Reserve and Patron’s Reserve.

McWilliam’s Wines purchased a 50 per cent share of the Brand’s Estate in 1990 and the remaining 50 per cent in 1994, with Eric and Nancy’s sons Jim and Bill Brand retained as winemakers. McWilliam’s Wines is today one of the largest landholders in Coonawarra, with almost 300 hectares of mainly cabernet sauvignon and shiraz vines. In recent years the company has extended the Estate to include the 165 hectare Station Block and 100 hectare Kirkgate vineyards.
